Geoffrey Obijuru Ibeabuchi, the Anglican Bishop of Umuahia diocese, has urged Abians to present themselves to be counted during the National Census on May 3-5 2023.
In a Communique issued after the Young Fathers Conference held at the St Michael’s Church Okwulaga, Afara-Ibeku East Archdeaconry Umuahia, Ibeabuchi explained that the National Census data would assist in National planning and implementation of developmental initiatives.
The Conference with the theme ‘Young men shall see Visions’ taken from the Bible book of Joel 2 verse 28 described vision as an experience in the life of a person where God reveals the future events to him, adding that this should be the lifestyle of Young Fathers.
The bishop however, regretted that it was no longer seen today in our society.
