“Our doors will be widely open to receive constructive ideas and initiatives that will promote and improve the general well-being of every member under the umbrella of this great Association.”
He applauded the immediate past Chairman and the Secretary, Rev Jonah Samson and Bishop Mike Akpami, for what he described as “their unwavering support and efforts in the affairs of God that culminated in the quality leadership they demonstrated in FCT CAN during their tenure. May God bless you all IJN, Amen.”
