The Christian Association of Nigeria has mourned the death of former Aso Rock chaplain and Founder of All Christians Fellowship Mission, Rev. Dr. William Uzochukwu Okoye, describing him as a devoted servant of God whose impact on the Church and Nigeria will be remembered.

In a statement on Thursday, CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh extended condolences to the late cleric’s wife, Rev. Mrs. Toyin Okoye, his children, the leadership and members of All Christians Fellowship Mission, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and the wider Christian community.

According to the statement, Okoye dedicated his life to preaching the Gospel, mentoring leaders and promoting unity within the Nigerian Church.

The late cleric served as Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in the Federal Capital Territory, Chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, FCT chapter, and later as CAN’s National Director on National Issues and Social Welfare.

He also served on the Presidential Advisory Council on Youth Affairs, the National Political Reform Conference and the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission. Okoye was chaplain to two Nigerian presidents and headed the Aso Rock Villa Chapel.

Reflecting on his life, Okoh described Okoye as a humble servant of God who discharged every responsibility with wisdom, grace and dedication.

“He was deeply committed to the unity of the Church and was always willing to lend his voice and experience whenever called upon. His counsel, calm disposition and passion for advancing God’s Kingdom will be greatly missed,” the CAN president said.

Okoh prayed for God’s comfort and strength for the bereaved family, the All Christians Fellowship Mission and all those mourning the late cleric.
