Henry Ndukuba, Archbishop Metropolitan, and Primate of All Nigeria in company of The Rt. Rev. Dr. Owen C. Nwokolo, Bishop on the Niger; Archbishop Alex Ibezim, Bishop of Awka Diocese and Archbishop of Province on the Niger; and other top clergy from the Anglican Communion, unveiled the well tarred road.

He enumerated Sir Okwuosa’s contributions to the wellbeing of the body of Christ and to the less privileged. He pledged, Engr.
