Globally, religious cities often become catalysts for development and economic growth, and I am particularly pleased to see that Zion Ministry, under the leadership of Evangelist Chukwuebuka Obi, has returned home to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our dear State.

While receiving him at the Government House after the successful three-day crusade at the Ministry's new permanent site in Ngor Okpala, I expressed my sincere appreciation for his commitment to our State. His decision to establish the Ministry's base here is a significant contribution to the building of a more vibrant and economically stable region.

I assured Evangelist Obi of our unwavering support as his Ministry settles into its new home. We remain fully committed to providing the necessary assistance to ensure that Zion Ministry continues to thrive and positively impact our State and its people.

Today marks a transformative milestone as we joined forces with the President of Afrexim Bank, Dr. Benedict Okey Oramah, ably represented by Mrs. Kanayo Awani, the bank's Executive Vice Chairman for Intra-African Trade and Export Development for the ground-breaking ceremony of the bank's Quality Assurance Center in Umuowa, Ngor Okpala LGA.
