Sixty-five years is more than a personal milestone. For the Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Henry Chukwudum Ndukuba, it represents a lifetime of dedicated service to God, the advancement of the Gospel and the strengthening of the Anglican Communion.
As he marks his 65th birthday, tributes are being celebrated not only for his decades of faithful ministry but also for a legacy of visionary leadership centred on evangelism, discipleship, biblical faithfulness and raising a new generation of Christian leaders for the future.
Since assuming office as Primate in 2020, Most Rev. Ndukuba has consistently championed evangelism, discipleship, mission and biblical orthodoxy as the defining pillars of his leadership.
Among the initiatives that best reflect this vision is the Joshua Generation International Youth Conference (JGIYC), a strategic platform designed to nurture spiritually grounded young Christians and prepare them for leadership in the Church, their communities and society at large.
Speaking during an interview with Advent Cable Network Nigeria (ACNN TV) on 25 March 2022, to mark his second anniversary in office, the Primate explained that the initiative was born out of concern over the growing number of young people drifting away from active Christian commitment. While acknowledging this challenge, he also expressed confidence that God is raising a new generation willing to embrace obedience, holiness and unwavering commitment to His Word.
