Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has donated a piece of land to Faithway Gospel Ministries in Makurdi, headquartered in Jos, the Plateau State capital, for the construction of a church and pastor’s residence.

 

Governor Ortom announced the donation on Sunday, 30th January, 2022, during a thanksgiving service held at the church’s temporary worship center located in the premises of Staff Development Center, Makurdi.

 

He explained that the land, measuring slightly above 100ft by 100ft is located at Hudco Quarters Makurdi, stressing that arrangements are being made to acquire a nearby portion of land to add to the existing one so the church could have enough space for development.
