President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday commissioned the over
N600 million Christian Association of Nigerian’s (CAN) Jubilee Resort and
Leadership Centre in Abuja.
The Centre, which is within the premises of the National
Christian Centre, Abuja, provides rooms’ accommodation and halls for
conferences to the public at a fee.
Thanking God that he witnessed the beginning and end of the
project, Jonathan said that with unity of purpose, the body of Christ can
achieve greater things.
He said: “I urge Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of unity and
with it nothing can stop us from reaching greater heights.”
He noted that one of the greatest assets from a family to
the nation is good leadership.
“I believe this centre will be used to re-orientate and
re-focus us.”
He warned that it will not be good if the edifice cannot
generate income to at least cater for its maintenance.
“We hope we will be able to generate enough to maintain this
centre,” the President added
Commending the prudence in the cost of the building, he said
that such building and its facilities would have cost three times the cost
expended on the project if it was handled by the government.
Speaking at the occasion, the CAN President, Pastor
Oritsejafor, said the cost of the building came down because some engineers and
other people gave their services free of charge.
