In a press Statement on Monday through his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr. Makut Macham, the Governor believes Bishop Audu will deploy “his wealth of experience to work with the clergy and laity under his jurisdiction as well as the body of Christ in the State to propagate the gospel of salvation and reach out to those in need.”
“We look forward to working with your Grace to continue to intercede for Plateau State and the nation at large and strengthen the gospel of peace, tolerance, compassion and sacrifice which will assist us to consolidate on the stability we have achieved in the recent past” the Governor said.
Until his appointment, Bishop Audu was the Chief Shepherd of Lafia Diocese.
