A four-kilometre-road in Warri South Local Government has been named
after the National President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN,
Pastor Ayodele Joseph Oritsejafor, by authorities of the council who
described him as a great ambassador of Warri.
The four-kilometre-road, which runs from the Police Barracks Junction
axis of the popular Warri-Sapele Road terminates at the Mabiaku road in
Warri GRA. In a brief remark before unveiling two sign-posts of the road,
Transition Committee Chairman of Warri South Local Government, Dr.
Augustine Uroye, noted that the formal unveiling in honour of the CAN
President was the first in the history of the local government. According to him, Pastor Oritsejafor has contributed immensely to the
development and positive projection of Warri both within and outside
the country. The elated CAN president, who was flanked by his wife, Pastor Helen
Oritsejafor, expressed his excitement, stressing that a man could not be
said to have achieved anything until his people honoured him. The former Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria President noted that
even Jesus Christ could not do many miracles in his own town because the
Jews had no value for him. He therefore prayed for continuous peace in Warri, adding that, with
the honour bestowed on him, every good thing that left Warri would
return.
