The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has concluded a 2-day Leadership Conference in Afikpo Local Government Area with the theme: “STRENGTHENING THE UNITY OF THE CHURCH.”
The conference attracted several Ministers of the Gospel and Church Workers, and was also specially graced by the presence of the Executive Chairman, NWACHI, Timothy A. U., the Chief Of Staff, Apostle Dr. Uduma Peter Agha, and other functionaries of the council.
The conference which held on Thursday 17 and Friday 18 July, 2025 at the Assemblies Of God Church, Ukpa/Amaechara, Afikpo, aimed to unite Ministers and Church Leaders in the area, promoting the propagation of the gospel.
The Council Chairman expressed gratitude that the Conference brought Ministers in Afikpo together irrespective of denomination, emphasizing the importance of unity in spreading the gospel.
His words: “I want to urge the church leaders here to be united both in the church and outside the church, so that we can confront our common enemy, the devil.”
He encouraged the Clergy and laity to pray for leaders, including Gov. Francis Nwifuru, for guidance and the well-being of the citizenry.

Other speakers who spoke in the programme include: Ven. Emmanuel Obika; Rt. Rev. Uwem Ita Ekarika; Rev. Kenneth Mbe Okorocha; and Rev. Dr. Paschal Inya.
The speakers dealt on various topics but with so much emphasis on the theme; “Strengthening The Unity Of The Church”, which could be summarily achieved by
actively fostering togetherness, understanding, cooperation and forgiveness among believers, despite differences.
In his remarks, the convener of the programme and the Chief Of Staff to the Council Chairman, Afikpo LGA, Apostle Dr. Uduma Peter Agha, expressed his joy over the success of the conference as he also thanked the participants and all who got involved in one way or another to make the dream of having the conference realised.
