In response to the recent demolition exercise in Jakande, Lekki, Lagos, The Elevation Church provided housing and financial support to 129 displaced families. Many of these families, who are members of the church, sought assistance during this critical time.
The Lagos State Government’s demolition initiative, aimed at reclaiming land for the Lagos-Calabar Highway project and fostering urban renewal, left numerous families in the Lekki Jakande area homeless in April 2024. Responding to the urgent calls for assistance from its affected members, The Elevation Church quickly initiated a resettlement plan in partnership with SmallSmall, a tech housing start-up, to secure suitable housing in the Lekki Jakande area.
The initiative was funded by generous donations from The Elevation Church members, leadership and ministry stakeholders.
“During challenging times, the Church has a responsibility to extend support to our community,” remarked Godman Akinlabi, Global Lead Pastor of The Elevation Church. “Supporting our membership and community in areas of economic, social, personal and spiritual growth will always be a priority to us as a Global ministry, thanks to the culture of generosity in our ecosystem.”
Headquartered in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria, but with campuses across Nigeria, in the UK, the US, Canada and Europe, The Elevation Church is a dynamic force for positive change, dedicated to making greatness common and leaving a lasting positive impact on lives.
