“We taught it wise to thank God that we`ve seen the Cathedral Church of the Good Shepherd run for 25 years. It`s been a glorious moment, we`ve seen a lot of development, the transition between the former Bishop Otubelu to Most Reverend Doctor E.O Chukwuma . We`ve seen great times.“

The Chairman of the planning committee, Mr. Nnanyelugo Onyemelukwe also noted that the church had witnessed a lot of transformation since the foundation stone was laid.

“Archbishop will be holding a Eucharistic service at 7am but before then he would have commissioned our outpost church at Ndiagu Akpugo on the Ist of February. On 3rd, we have a maiden lecture series that will have a spiritual content. We have intimated our members to turn out for an early morning and spiritual exercise termed “JESUS WALK“.  Archbishop has provided for the health check to be free of charge to members.“
