The newly ordained Archbishop of the Abuja Archdiocese of the the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Most Reverend Joseph Oche Job made public the plan of the church to build a School of Nursing and Hospital in Abuja.
He said the vision of the church is that the medical centre will compete with any standard school of nursing, school of health technologies or hospital in Nigeria. He said the Certificate of Occupancy of the landed property has been acquired already, and work will soon commence in earnest.
The Archbishop stated that the Methodist Church is committed to being actively involved in providing health and educational facilities for Nigerians, along with its pursuit of its evangelical mission.
This move by the Methodist Church is a laudable one. Time has come in my opinion that churches should engage in developmental projects to impact their communities. This I believe is a way of expressing and translating the evangelical mission we are called to fulfill in the language the common man can understand.
God bless the Methodist Church of Nigeria! God bless Nigeria!
