The Secretary to the Abia State Government, Professor Kenneth Kalu, has called on the Church to continually pray for leaders at all levels for God’s grace and wisdom to guide them in managing the affairs of the state and the nation.

The SSG used the opportunity to highlight some of the numerous transformative strides of the present administration, under the able leadership of Governor Alex Otti, OFR, especially the establishment of the Abia Leadership Academy, which has trained the first batch of 1,000 young Abians in leadership, ethics, and innovation. He emphasized the government’s focus on building a new Abia rooted in values, vision, and service.
he SSG was seen having a handshake with the Principal Clerk of the General Assembly of the PCN, Rev. Miracle Ajah.
The Abia Chief Scribe congratulated Chief Jerry Kalu (Osimiri) on his well-deserved investiture, describing the appointment as a divine responsibility for greater service to God and humanity.
Earlier in her sermon, the Moderator of Aba Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, Rev. Ngozi Iro, emphasized the importance of raising children in godly values, noting that they are the future leaders of both the church and the society.
In his response, Chief Jerry Kalu expressed profound gratitude to God for the honour of serving as Chairman of all the Patrons of the Brigade. He pledged to discharge his responsibilities with diligence, efficiency, and commitment to the spiritual and moral growth of the youth.
