Two years after building a church in fulfillment of the promise made at the age of 11, former Nigerian Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba has promised to build the Adoration Chapel at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church Akaparabong Ikom, in honour of his late wife, Amaka.
Ndoma-Egba stated this during the thanksgiving to round up his late wife funeral programme on Sunday at Akparabong, Ikom.
The former Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, said the Chapel which will be completed in one year will be used to celebrate his late wife’s one-year anniversary and her 55th birthday.
Head of the Ndoma- Egba family, Professor Rowland Ndoma-Egba also announced that the Reverend Father’s Parish House presently under construction would be completed and furnished in memory of Amaka whose contribution was inestimable in the family.
Responding, the Parish Priest, Reverend Father Patrick Okuta, who was full of praise to the Ndoma-Egbas for always putting God first, directed the church legionaries to change their weekly meeting to Amaka’s burial ground for prayers.
