General Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN), Pastor Samuel Sanusi, has called on the various churches and members to support the BSN in its drive to make the word an indispensable tool for nation building, available and affordable for Nigerians.

He noted that BSN, a member of United Bible Societies with its presence in 240 countries, has translated the Holy Bible into 27 Nigerian languages and currently working on nine different translation/revision projects at a cost of N150 million each.

Sanusi made the call at the announcement of the 11th edition of African Leadership Biblical Initiative (ABLI) Conference with theme: “Value-based Leadership: Model for Africa” scheduled to hold on Monday, October 21- 24, 2024 at the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Conference Centre, Abuja from 9.00am daily.
