The new General Overseer of CEFN Mission, Reverend (Dr.) Malachi Ogakwu while speaking with our correspondent in Lokoja promised to justify the confidence reposed on him through greater commitment to the service of God.
He therefore appreciated the CEFN family in the ‘Lokoja zone’ for the cooperation and support towards the success of his administration as the zonal Pastor at the Kogi state headquarters.
However, the mantle of leadership would be handed over to the new General Overseer by the outgoing G.O, Rev. D.B Usman Ph.D after the end of his tenure in the mission.
