The Anglican Diocese of Ohaji/Egbema, Saint Peters Umuokanne, has officially commissioned a New Cathedral built by pious and laity members of the diocese. The dedication ceremony was held on Sunday with people across board attending it.
Dedicating the Cathedral, Archbishop, Metropolitan and Primate of All Nigeria, His Grace, The Most Reverend Dr. Henry Chukwudum Ndukuba, thanked God for strengthening the church to realize the project, just as he appreciated the diocesans for their effort and commitment to the work of God, praying to God to bless them immeasurably to do more.
Speaking, the Anglican Bishop of Ohaji-Egbema, Rev. Dr. Chidi Collins Oparaojiaku, expressed happiness for the completion and dedication of the Cathedral. “We must build a befitting house for God. Let diocesans continue to be committed, remain focused to the service of God and society”.
Bishop Oparaojiaku while cautioning youths against crime and violence, added that only righteousness can solve security challenges in Imo State. “Let all citizens join hands to make Imo State good and free from crime and violence to live peacefully, comfortably and successfully at all times. Parents should speak up against the illicit activities and attitudes of their children”.
Governor Hope Uzodimma who attended the occasion with his retinue of supporters and other top government functionaries, eulogized the Bishop and Anglican Diocese of Ohaji-Egbema for their trust in God. He promised to donate a soundproof generating set to the church.
