Oyeyemi said that the programme is aimed at encouraging children to be loyal to the country starting with their prayers.
“We are inculcating in our children, the desire to pray and overall, God gave us life, and technology, he has told us to call on him in the day of trouble and he will answer us”, he said.
The Coordinator of Nigerian Airport Management Authority (NAMA) Christian Fellowship, Mr. Funsho Otubusa reinstated the commitment of the aviation industry toward maintaining high safety standard for the well being of passengers.
He noted the aviation industry is working hard to maintain the good rating that Nigeria has in the international communities and we will not rest on our oars.
He stressed that faith without works is death, the agencies in the aviation sector are poised towards providing world safety standard for the sector.
