Chairman of Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN), Niger State chapter, who is also the Vicar of the Anglican Holy Trinity Church Chanchaga, in Bosso local council of Niger, Venerable Daniel Tsado, has highlighted the Council’s status as one of the most organised missionary blocks in the country.

Speaking shortly after his inauguration as the new Chairman of CCN at the conference hall of St. Peter’s Anglican Cathedral Church in Minna, Tsado emphasised that CCN, founded in 1929, remains committed to its mission. He expressed confidence in the elected officials, noting their sound theological training, integrity, and extensive exposure.

“We are all called to serve; therefore, let us utilise this opportunity to serve God with all our hearts, serving Him diligently, devoid of personal gains, because we shall give an account of all our deeds to God,” said the cleric.
