BREAKING THE SILENCE: ADDRESSING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY.
It was a great privilege to be part of this advocacy in the Church community, i understand that the Church is a great platform for community engagement.
As a way to round up the Annual Family Weekend Programme of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Worldwide, we at RCCG Root of Jesse Assembly (ROJA) focused on a deeply troubling trend, one that is now gaining public attention and prompting aggressive social actions aimed at stemming the tide.
And that is: “Breaking the Silence: Addressing Child Sexual Abuse in the Church and Community”
It was a Talk Back Service that looked deeply into the menace of child sexual abuse, the role of the family, and the role of the Church in keeping our children safe.
The fight against child sexual abuse is our collective responsibility, and I’m super excited that the Church is actively involved in this fight.
SOCIAL WORKERS' VIEW ON ALCOHOL HARM REDUCTION IN NIGERIA
AT THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF ADVOCATES AGAINST ALCOHOL HARM IN NIGERIA (ASAAHN).
I was greatly honoured to have the opportunity to represent my professional body, the Nigeria Association of Social Workers (NASoW), Lagos State Chapter, which is not only the umbrella body of social workers in Nigeria but also an affiliate of the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) at this conference.
As social workers, we stand at the intersection of public health, mental health, and social justice, three key areas deeply impacted by alcohol use and misuse in our communities. This made the discussion an important one for us.
For us, alcohol harm transcends consumption and an individual’s behaviour; it affects families, communities, and the social systems. As social workers, we see firsthand how alcohol misuse leads to or is a major contributor to domestic violence, family disintegration, child neglect, child abuse, even child sexual abuse, road accidents, poverty, declining productivity, mental health issues, chronic health conditions, and ultimately death.
Therefore, we as social workers advocate that alcohol harm reduction must be approached as both a public health and social welfare issue.
2025 WROLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY CAMPAIGN– SCHOOL OUTREACH, FCT ABUJA.
This year, The Concern Home Social & Charitable Initiative (TCH) commemorated World Mental Health Day with a focused school outreach campaign across selected schools in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The initiative aimed to deepen mental health awareness among students and strengthen psychosocial support within the school community.
Through interactive discussions, group activities, and age-appropriate teaching sessions, students were educated on stress management, emotional regulation, self-esteem building, peer support, and how to seek help when facing mental or emotional challenges. Teachers and school staff also received sensitization on identifying early signs of distress and fostering a safe, supportive environment for learners.
The outreach positively impacted hundreds of students and educators, equipping them with practical knowledge and tools to understand and prioritize their mental well-being. Mental health resource materials were shared to reinforce learning and encourage ongoing conversations within the schools.
The 2025 campaign reaffirmed TCH’s commitment to promoting holistic well-being and ensuring that every child feels supported, empowered, and emotionally safe. We remain dedicated to expanding mental health education and interventions to more schools across Nigeria.

Engaging Graduating Students of CRSS on The Cult Trap: What They Promise, What You Lose” - The Link to Drugs, Crime, and Mental Health.
“The Cult Trap: What They Promise, What You Lose” sheds light on the deceptive allure of cult groups and the heavy price members ultimately pay. The discussion exposed how false promises of belonging, power, and protection often draw young people into cultism, only to entangle them in cycles of drug abuse, crime, and deteriorating mental health. Participants were urged to recognize these dangers, resist peer pressure, and seek healthier alternatives for identity and community. the talk further emphasized the collective responsibility of families, schools, and society to provide guidance, positive role models, and supportive environments that help youths steer clear of cult involvement.
