The Anglican Church of The Pentecost, Diocese of Lagos Mainland has conferred on Lady Tina Okafor and two others the Ezinne title.
She received the honour during the Mother’s Day celebration last Sunday. According to the chairlady of Mothers Day/Award Committee, Mrs Nkechi Ezenwa, “Lady Tina was given Ezinne title due to the fact that the women of the Anglican Church of the Pentecost considered her 30-year-old marriage a successful one.
“The marriage has produced well behaved children and grandchildren. A devoted woman of God, she is never tired of rendering her services to God in her Parish, the Archdeaconry, the Diocese and her fellowship. Her family is one of the pioneer members of the church, and till date, they are still not tired of rendering their services to God.”
She further stated: “She has been a pillar and a huge support both to the younger women and the elderly in the church fellowship and in her social work and services. Young women fondly call her Mummy Tee. Again, she has remained the only women leader in the parish till date due to her good deeds, kindheartedness and love for the women and everyone around her. Little wonder when the opportunity of the honour of the title of Ezinne came up, her nomination was expressly approved by the majority. This didn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We are happy to introduce her to the world as Ezinne on merit.”
Talking about her career, Lady Okafor is an independent TV producer and presenter. She produced and co-presented a TV talk show on NTA channel 10 Lagos. She is also the CEO of CUCIOIC Ltd, as well as an SDG Ambassador on Humanitarian and Social Development.
She is currently a diocesan board member of the Lagos Mainland Diocese of the Anglican Communion, and Okota Archdeaconry board member. She is the Bishop’s nominee at the PCC level and one of the oldest standing members of the PCC of the Anglican Church of Pentecost Okota. She is the women leader; a position she has occupied since the inception of the church over 15 years ago.
Among other recipients were Lady Uche Ndulue, and Mrs. Elizbeth Uzoma, whose awards were equally celebrated by the church.
