Anglican Diocese of Ahoada
The Anglican Diocese of Ahoada is one of twelve dioceses within the Anglican Province of the Niger Delta,[1] itself one of 14 ecclesiastical provinces within the Church of Nigeria.[2] The current bishop is Clement Ekpeye.[3]
The first church in the area, St. Paul's Niger Delta, was established at Ahoada in 1910. In 1925 a primary school was opened; and later a maternity home. In 1951 a vicarage was added. In 1952, a new Diocese Niger Delta was formed, with Ahoada and its surroundings included within it.[citation needed]
The Diocese of Ahoada was established in 2004 with St. Paul's becoming its cathedral,[4] and Clement Ekpeye was its first bishop.[5] Ekpeye was consecrated bishop on July 25, 2004, at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, Life Camp, Gwarinpa, Abuja.[6]
