Pastor Tunde Bakare’s Latter Rain Assembly Permanent site
LATTER RAIN MOVES TO NEXT LEVEL
Reports say the church has committed an estimated N18 billion to the project.
The Latter Rain Assembly pastored by Tunde Bakare, maximized discontinuity by rebranding as The Citadel Global Community Church- CGCC.
It is no coincidence that initial facility of the church stands on a renovated factory building, previously owned by one among the many manufacturers who had to close shop in late 80’s as a result of the hostile operating environment of that period.
Bakare who closed his legal chambers and businesses to dedicate his life to the Church business now runs one of the most sought after religious establishments in Nigeria and across Africa.
The Citadel Global Community Church now known as CGCC for short formerly known as The Latter Rain Assembly developed its acquired property into a relatively modern facility that housed the following facilities;
- A main auditorium, offices,
- Health Clinic, said to be open to both members and non-members Subject to verification.
- Bookshop,
- Sunday School and
- Event Halls.

Haven spent 30 years in its old Church facility located at 4 Akilo Road, Oba Akran, Ikeja, Lagos Nigeria, with a membership in their thousands, the church took a bold step and moved to a gigantic and modern facility in a more serene and upscale neighbourhood of Oregun Ikeja.
The Citadel as described by Pastor Bakare is a Vertical City with horizontal proportions, a new phenomenon in church architecture with the following distinct but synchronous ecologies;
- A state of the art 5,200-seater auditorium, a much bigger capacity than current location of the CGCC.
- 24-hour prayer centre & telephone counselling ministry as well as family life centre open to all for pre & post marital counselling.
- Health care open to members and the public for free
- 40 class rooms for the use of the creche, nursery and primary schools
- Ample facilities for the school of government; business & leadership academy; school of parenting; finishing school; skills acquisition centre, free public e-library and bookshop open to members of the public who register
- Event centres serviced by an industrial kitchen and restaurant, commercial outlets for retail, offices and banks, media studio with advanced editing suites and sound stages
3-level 600+ Car park,
- Waste Management and Clean Energy Amenities
To ensure the sustainability of The Citadel, the governance architecture is like the river that parts into four major heads;
1) The Church: CGCC,
2) The corporation: the commercial arm for wealth creation,
3) The schools: the human capital development arm &,
4) The foundation: for corporate social responsibility- social intervention.
The Citadel says it offers an ecosystem that seeks to empower everyday people to attain their full potentials by facilitating the integration of work, play and learning. It claims it seeks to empower the next generation of leaders who will go into the mountains of culture to solve problems in politics, economy, media and entertainment, education, religion and social development.
It is the only Branch of the CGCC, a Ministry which claim to have overtime supported its members to set-up other ministries across the world with no franchising agreement to remit tithes and offerings but rather as sons who have matured to the point of marriage and need space to lead their families but who can visit home anytime for fellowship, supports and encouragements.
The CGCC says it is for this vision of an innovative and viable platform for societal transformation that Pastor Bakare along with community leaders and members have committed themselves to work, seeking by magnificent but righteous exertions in the marketplace and at personal inconvenience to finance its development...
