By Emma Njoku

The Foursquare Gospel Church Nigeria is set to host the fifth edition of its SWITCH conference, aimed at reviving purpose, renewing vision and shaping the future of Nigerian youths.

Speaking at a media briefing in Lagos, the General Overseer, Rev. Sam Aboyeji, said the conference would be held on Saturday, May 2, at the church’s national headquarters in Yaba.

With the theme, “Graced Pacesetters,” Aboyeji explained that the concept emphasises divine enablement beyond human effort, empowering participants to stand out and lead in their various fields. He expressed the church’s desire for attendees to receive “help from above” to become pacesetters in life.

The event is open to the public, particularly students, youths and young adults seeking success in marriage, ministry and the marketplace. Aboyeji said SWITCH 5.0 would serve as a platform for participants to gain spiritual empowerment, mentorship and practical insights for impactful living.

He noted that the initiative reflects the church’s commitment to investing in the next generation and sustaining a legacy of excellence, integrity and godliness. He stressed that while Nigeria has a vibrant and talented youth population, proper guidance is essential to prevent misdirection.

He added that the conference would feature notable speakers, including Pastor Yemi Davids of Global Impact Church and Kola Adesina, Chairman, Ikeja Electric and Group Managing Director, Sahara Power Group, alongside the host, Rev. Sam Aboyeji and his wife, Rev. Olabisi Aboyeji.

Also speaking, the Committee Chairman, SWITCH 5.0, Rev. Sam Salah, assured that attendees would be spiritually refreshed and inspired to achieve greater heights.

The church reiterated its commitment to nation-building through raising godly leaders who will positively influence all sectors of society, noting that SWITCH remains a key part of that mission.
