Nigeria Church Leaders And Years In Ministry

However, he defied the opposition and proceeded to Assemblies of God Divinity School, Old Umuahia. He started pastoring at eighteen (18) years even before proceeding to the Bible school. He was the pioneer Pastor of Umugba – Omoba, in Omoba Section under the leadership of late Rev. Onuiri.
