The Senator made this appreciation, after receiving a Special Merit Award presented to him by the Bishop on the Niger (Anglican Communion), Rt. Rev. Dr. Owen Nwokolo for his immense support to the Diocese at All Saints Cathedral Onitsha. According to him, the Church has been playing key roles in bettering various aspects of the society and their efforts towards promotion of peace cannot be overemphasized.
Senator Ubah also congratulated the Niger Diocesan Bishop who celebrated his 10th Year Episcopal Anniversary and urged all to support services in the Lord’s vineyard because peace and orderliness will thrive if the church always promote the gospel.
