It is no longer news that following the expiration of the 6 months extension of the tenure of Mr. Abdullahi Gana, on January 17th, 2021, and the directive of the President for an immediate replacement, in view of the important role the Civil Defence Corps is playing in national security, many names have been thrown up for consideration as the next Commandant-General of the Corps.
It is noteworthy that Dr. Ade Abolurin, OFR, who handed over to the outgoing Commandant General in July, 2015, indeed left big shoes to be worn. Dr. Abolurin built the Civil Defence Corps from it hitherto unknown state into a formidable security organisation, with proven records in national security and critical infrastructure protection.

The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCCG Pastor EA Adeboye had lambasted government witches and Christian Association of Nigeria CAN who conspired to cancel the 2020 Crossover Night Services.
Speaking during a sermon at Ebute Meta RCCG on Sunday, Pastor Adeboye blamed CAN and Covid-19 officials for the crossover night service cancellation.
According to Pastor Adeboye “The authorities in the government and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) said the cross over services should be held at different times. Some said we should close by 10 pm while others said we should close by 11pm. I said we should agree and close in our homes because it is funny to me to cross over by 10 pm on December 31. That means we are crossing over to 2020, God forbid. So, rather than cross over by 10 pm or 11 pm, I said we would stay in our houses and cross over at 12 midnight which will be a proper crossover”

The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Ignatius Kaigama, on Sunday, expressed concern over the worsening insecurity in the country, describing it as “very perplexing.”
He, therefore, warned Nigerians travelling for Christmas and the New Year to celebrate “with maximum vigilance and great caution.”
The cleric issued the warning during the Fourth Sunday of Advent mass, which held at the Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Pro-Cathedral, Abuja.
He also confirmed that two Catholic priests, Rev. Fr. Matthew Dajo of Abuja Archdiocese, who was kidnapped from his residence, and Rev. Fr. Valentine Ezeagu, who was abducted on his way to his father’s funeral in Imo State, had been freed by their captors.
