From the Rector’s Desk

Let me begin by appreciating God Almighty for His love and protection over every one of us. I sincerely thank the Most Revd. Dr. Henry Chukwudum Ndukuba, Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), for appointing me as the new Rector of Crowther Graduate Theological Seminary, Abeokuta. My association with CGTS began with an invitation to serve as an Adjunct Lecturer during the tenure of His Lordship, Rt. Rev. Prof. Dapo Asaju, the foundation Rector of this great institution.

I continued my service under His Lordship, Rt. Rev. Prof. Andrew Olu Igenoza, and also served under Rev. Prof. Taiye Aluko. Little did I know that one day it would be my turn to occupy the office as Rector. I sincerely commend my predecessors at CGTS for the impactful work they accomplished during their tenure. I pray for their continued success wherever their calling may lead them. May God enable us to fulfill His mandate and bring CGTS to greater prominence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
