SECULAR JOB EXPERIENCE.
Got employed at Akoko South Local Government in 1988 and worked for a period of four years (1988-1992). Employed as a Clerical Officer 1; worked as a table Clerk and Files finder. Then worked as Roneo Operator, later as a Correspondent Clerk (Inward and Outward), and later a Dispatched Clerk. Got promoted after two years to Senior Clerical Officer the same year when Appointment was confirmed, having attended Promotion Examination the first year of Employment. In 1991, got another promotion (conditional anyway because the goings were rough with my Boss) that led to my transfer from the head office to be the First Area Development Officer (A.E.O.). It was at this point that the calling and prompting into the ministry became clearer. In August, after I had gotten my Admission letter, and knowing that Seminary will resume in September, and under the civil Service Regulation, a month notice must be given before quitting Government job, I wrote my letter of Resignation. This did not go down well with my immediate Boss who hail from same village with me. To him, three years is too long to miss out from new Salary Scale just approved by Babangida regime. Never mind, I have a higher calling more than new pay-package. I left the Local Government on first of September 1992 to face the ministerial journey.
MINISTERIAL EXPERIENCE
He was ordained in 5th July 1995 as a Deacon at the Cathedral Church of Christ Marina Lagos. From there he was posted to Emmanuel Church, Mobil Road, from 1995-1999. I served as an Assistant Priest for four years under three different Bosses. Got moved to St. ANDREW'S Anglican Church, Amukoko from 1999 2010. While at Amukoko, God took our ministry to prominence. The greatest achievement is the mobilisation to build the Church that is still standing today. By God's grace, we have special gift of motivating people to work for God, and to help people discover their full potentials positively. Nobody is completely a write off, everybody is endowed with one thing or the other to work for God.
In August 2010, we were moved to our church headquarters, the Cathedral Church of Christ Marina Lagos and served four years (2010-2015) the same place I was ordained. While there, I was the Priest in Charge of the Youths and Evangelism. And in January 2015, our ministry moved to Anglican Church of Divine Providence, Adeba in IbejuLekki from 2015 till January 2019 and on 18th January 2019, I was transferred to St. John's Anglican Church, Aroloya.
