From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
Televangelist, Dr. Uma Ukpai has embarked on the construction of a multi billion naira Prayer City Centre at Isiugwu-Ohafia, in Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State.
When the 120,000 capacity magnificent prayer city is completed, it would be known as Greater Ohafia for Christ City, while the grounds accomdating the sprawling auditorium, would be called Uma Ukpai Prayer Cathedral.
Disclosing this while performing the ground breaking ceremony at Ohafia, Dr. Uma Ukpai said on completion, the project will become the largest prayer auditorium in Nigeria, going by its capability to accommodate 120,000 persons during crusades, prayers and other gospel events to be held there.
The Uma Ukpai Prayer City he said will comprise auditorium, lodges, car parks, access roads and other mind boggling structures.
To ensure quality delivery, the man of God said the project will be handled by a reputable Italian building construction firm, Habitat Universal Concept Limited; with Fabrizio Cardilo as the project contractor and Signor Ndubueze C. kanu as the country director.
Uma Ukpai declared that any body with any burden and steps into the ground with faith, would be set free while those with difficulties in achieving their life goals, shall actualise their dreams, on stepping into the Prayer ground.
“The land”, he noted, “would serve as a place where God will reconcile repented sinners unto himself”.
A major donor to the project, Emeka Oke Nmaju, who donated a total of 371 plots of land to the Greater Ohafia for Christ project, while describing Dr Uma Ukpai as a selfless servant of God, congratulated him for “this spiritual awakening not just to the people of Ohafia but to the Eastern region at large.”
He promised to do more in support of Dr Uma Ukpai’s works for God.
The National Co-ordinator of Greater Ohafia For Christ, Leo U.Oke described the 120,000 auditorium and the entire Umu Ukpai Prayer City as a landmark and milestone in the history of the spread of gospel in Ohafia, explaining that the city shall be a home of answered prayers for all that may enter it.
He assured that the project would be delivered according to plans.
