Speaking to Journalists shortly after the event, the CMD, stated that the event which is a big occasion attracted all Anglican faithfuls both within and outside the State, a time when the Church takes stock, a decision making period where issues concerning the church  are looked into and where previous issues are equally, renewed

Still speaking, the Parishioner asserted, that the 4 day  programme, which started on Thursday and the grand finale on Sunday was a huge success as it attracted all Anglican faithfuls from far and near,  Bishops, dignitaries  both within and outside  the state and all lovers of the gospel.
