Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, at the weekend carried out cleaning exercise in some streets of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as part of activities of the ‘All Africa Service Project’, an initiative of the church.
In particular, members from the ten units in the Abuja Wuse Stake early Saturday morning converged at the Stake Center in Wuse Zone 5 for prayers after which they grouped themselves and moved with their cleaning equipment to site, which is from the beginning of the Accra street, Zone 5 to the end of the street.
Our correspondent reports that the church carried out the cleaning exercise, in partnership with the officials of Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB).
They were seen sweeping the walk paths, picking litters, debris from the gutters, unclogging clogged drainages, gathering the dirt, heaping the garbage bags while the ARPB officials were on ground with their truck to pick up the garbage for proper disposal.
Also, it was observed that members used weeds and pesticide gallons to spray on the weeds along the street.
The cleaning activity lasted for three hours (9am to 12 noon), after which members converged again for benediction and dispersed to their various homes.
The Wuse Stake President, President Victor Chikezie Eze, presiding in the activity, while his 1st Councillor, President Michael Uwaya, conducted the affairs of the activity.
They explained that: “On the 21st of August, the Abuja Wuse Stake members of the church joined their fellow saints and members in Africa to go all out extending a service activity to their community.
“It was indeed an eventful and fulfilling one for members unto adhering to the principle of “service and sacrifice”.
