BOSS Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation, has commended the efforts of the officials of the Nigerian Fellowship of Evangelical Students, NIFES, for transforming the lives of the Nigerian students in their formative years through evangelical outreaches.
The SGF stated this when he received in audience the officials from Nigerian Fellowship of Evangelical Students, NIFES, who paid a courtesy visit to him in his office.
According to him, the role that NIFES plays in sharpening the lives of the Nigerian youth over the years with divine messages is what the nation needs to curb the social menace ravaging it. “Today, as a nation, we are paying dearly for what we neglected in the past with regard to the proper impartation of the core values and these have resulted in many clashes and killings in our communities”, he said.
In his admonition to the evangelical body, the SGF called on them to strive in their evangelical outreaches to direct the students to look up God with the view to preparing them to be focused and to aspire for leadership positions in the future.
He further stressed that going forward, “we must return to God”.
In his remark, Offiong E.B Offiong, SAN and chairman of the Governing Council of NIFES, said they were in the office to express the congratulatory message of their national director to the SGF on his appointment by president and also to intimate him on their activities.
The chairman said: ”NIFES role is to impact students on campus for Christ so as to enable them to take leadership position tomorrow”. He revealed that NIFES was established on the 31st August, 1968 and now has its presence in 337 campuses nationwide.
