Michael Kalu Ukpong, (Bishop of Umuahia Diocese) in the presence of the superior General, Very Rev. Fr. Dr. Christian Okwuru, SMMM, some of the brothers and workers. We salute the Superior General and Council for the initiative and taking the bold step to begin this gigantic and marvelous project, while being hopeful to the gains both materially and spiritually that will accrue from it as we bear witnesses to God’s mercy.
