The council wrote back to them, stating that what they were expected to do was to return the certificates awarded in line with the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examinations.

GENERAL Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said the New Year, 2014, will determine the future of Nigeria. Adeboye gave the prediction during the crossover service, held at the Redemption Camp, Kilometre 46, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State. Adeboye, speaking on the New Year, said contrary to insinuations in some quarters that 2015 will determine the fate of the nation, “whatever will happen to Nigeria in 2015 will be determined this year, not 2015.” Disclosing to worshippers that he was permitted only to speak out two of the prophecies God had given him concerning Nigeria, he said the events heralding the New Year in the political landscape might not necessarily determine how the year would end. “The equations at the beginning of this year will be different from the equations at the end of the year. Therefore, don’t jump into conclusions,” he warned. On the international scene, Pastor Adeboye admonished the ...
