How Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere Acquires Multi Million Naira Property to cater for Children Born With Autism others
Kenneth Nwachi writes from Abuja
Presently in Nigeria and other parts of the world where economic crisis has become order of the day.
A situation where people are living in abject poverty, hunger and starvation, one man whose name is so synonymous with philanthropism, kindness and humility irrespective of times and seasons rings bell in the heart of many.
Nigeria and the rest of the world have been battling with destructive outcome of covid 19 pandemics. A situation where there was a slow pace of church activities.
Ordinarily the man of God would have limits the level of his humanitarian activities due to the reasons already mentioned above but he is moved on a daily basis to touch lives and change narratives.
Children born with autism and Down syndrome together with other children with special needs suffer so much especially those from poor families. They suffer rejection from people, deprivation and sometimes absolute abandonment. Some of them from poor family background don’t have the hope of going to school because of the exorbitant nature of their school.
In what could be seen as a rescue mission, Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, the Founder and General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries have acquired a property worth 110,000,000 ( ONE HUNDRED AND TEN MILLION NAIRA) to establish a school for children from poor homes born with autism and Down syndrome in Nigeria. A property believed to be one of the largest in Africa if not the world.
Research has shown that this is the first church free school for autism and Down syndrome Children in the world. As if that is not enough, the man of God also bought a brand new bus from Innoson motors worth Millions of Naira which will be picking up this children to school free of charge. Recall also that their school uniform, sandals, shoes, books and other writing materials are free of charge.
Despite all these gestures, the man of God whose priority is on the betterment of the less privileged looked critically at their health needs. He discovered that these
special children needs adequate treatment.
Apostle Chinyere is someone who don’t think how much it will cost him to get the best out of something. He flew in to Port Harcourt a specialist Medical Doctor who handles their health needs at his own expense. He also employed experienced teachers to handle them.
As we all are aware, there are serious improvement in their lives.
This calls for Government and individuals to join hands and support this great man of God to lift many Nigerians out of poverty and give while giving them a desired and qualitative education.

Alake Inaugurates Nigeria-US Solid Minerals Committee, Dismisses $700bn Claim, Says No Assets Sold
Joel Ajayi
The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alake, on Tuesday inaugurated the Nigeria-United States Committee on Strategic Cooperation in the Solid Minerals Sector in Abuja, dismissing reports that Nigeria sold $700 billion worth of solid minerals to the US.
The inauguration followed the strategic cooperation framework established between Nigeria and the United States during the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Head PRESS and Public Relations Department Mrs. Kania Maliki Andeyaba stated that, Alake in the Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, signed with the US is a government-to-government platform to facilitate business-to-business engagements between American investors and Nigerian local operators, not a sale of assets.
Harping on the importance of the solid minerals sector to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic diversification agenda, he noted that the administration was committed to reducing dependence on a mono-product economy through the sustainable development of Nigeria’s vast mineral resources.
According to him, the Nigeria–US partnership as a strategic initiative to attract investment, promote technology transfer, strengthen local mineral processing and create employment opportunities.
“There is no sale of any Nigerian asset. There’s nothing exchanging hands,” Alake declared.
“We created a platform to facilitate mingling of US investment ventures with Nigeria’s local operators. It is in the public domain. We signed it in public and published it in four or five national newspapers.”
The Minister said reports claiming the US was coming to take over Nigeria’s minerals and security architecture were untrue at best and products of riotous imagination at worst.
Explaining the policy thrust, Alake said Africa has historically held the short end of the stick in global economic transactions, and Nigeria is determined to change that model.
“We have the resources, the critical elements the world needs to transit to clean energy. So we are creating a new paradigm — you bring your capital, expertise and technology, to match with our natural resources and create a win-win situation . The investor gains, Nigeria gains.’’he said.
Nigeria, he stressed, had operated a mono-cultural economy dependent on oil, while solid minerals were exploited informally — with ores taken “from pit to port” without value addition.
Alake said government has now made local processing mandatory, refusing to grant mineral titles to investors without a clear pathway to processing in Nigeria.
He said the policy led to the springing up of processing factories, including the largest lithium processing plant in West Africa commissioned recently in Nasarawa by the Vice President, and informed the formation of the African Minerals Strategy Group.
Alake noted that investor confidence has returned due to macro-economic reforms by President Bola Tinubu that guarantee security of tenure and repatriation of profits.
He charged the committee to discharge its assignment responsibly, saying its work is strategic to achieving the President’s $1 trillion economy target.
To this end, he told the Committee to ensure effective coordination, identify investment opportunities and translate the framework into measurable outcomes capable of positioning Nigeria as a competitive player in the global solid minerals industry.
In his welcome address, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Engr. Faruk Yusuf Yabo, said the inauguration translates growing bilateral engagements into a structured framework for practical cooperation and investment mobilization
Economic Officer at the US Embassy, Jonathan Baas, said President Donald Trump has prioritized three areas for US embassies — energy, artificial intelligence/super intelligence, and critical minerals.
Baas said Washington’s direction is to work with partners to secure critical supply chains while ensuring partners capture value.
“We just signed a contract today on looking into building AI data centres in Nigeria at the Nigerian Economic Summit. That’s the direction Washington wants us to go,” he said.
In his vote of thanks, CEO/Managing Director of Nigeria Solid Minerals Company, NSMC said that the committee
is expected to coordinate implementation, facilitate investment and monitor progress towards achieving the objectives of the Nigeria–US cooperation framework.
The inauguration reinforces the Federal Government’s commitment to repositioning the solid minerals sector as a key driver of economic diversification, industrial development and national prosperity under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
