at a time he was hitting the limelight in the management of a leading
Pharmaceutical company in Nigeria, West Africa, in July 1982.
Working for a Pharmaceutical company in Jos, the came to the office
one morning like any other. Standing outside his office, he knew it was
time to leave. He hadn’t discussed with his wife yet but she knew he had
a call on his life and was afraid to do anything about it. He tendered
his resignation and left the company. It was such a struggle for him but
thank God it happened.
In response to the call upon his life, the Archbishop relocated his
family to Makurdi where he began part time missionary work where he was
running his business in Makurdi and preaching the word. The Archbishop
