Brown Oyitso, the RCCG pastor in charge of Region 19, emphasized the importance of these programmes in giving back to the community where their ministry began. He said, “I feel so honoured and blessed. The ministry God commissioned into our hands started in this environment. To come and give back to this neighbourhood after so many years has brought me so much fulfillment in life. This means that our labour has not been in vain. We came to see that this neighbourhood has become modernised. It means that the gospel had an impact on the neighborhood."
"This is a routine Christian social responsibility programme. We only used the 70th birthday anniversary as a vehicle for us to come here. It’s a routine programme. We sink boreholes in communities, we engage in medical outreach, and we donate medical equipment to hospitals around this area.”

The Tutor-General of the State Education District 1, Bashir Adebowale, commended RCCG for selecting Vetland School for the donation, noting the government's vision to transform public schools into models for others in the country.
The school’s principal, Latunde Dada, also expressed her gratitude, stating, “What they have done today is a continuation of what the state government is doing to education in Lagos State. The RCCG refurbished the school’s computer laboratory. They also donated five other desktop computers to the laboratory. Before now, the school has been using interactive boards to teach the students. And if that board is connected to the Internet, it will produce any instructional material that is needed for learning. The renovation and addition of desktop computers will enable the students to gain more technology knowledge.”
