The chairman expressed gratitude to God for making the acquisition of the land possible, noting that the groundbreaking marked a major step towards providing the association with a permanent secretariat.

She said she was hopeful that work would continue after the foundation stone-laying ceremony and expressed optimism that the building’s opening ceremony could take place before the end of her administration.

Nwanne also urged members to remain united and resist division, stressing that a common purpose and collective commitment would enable the chapter to achieve greater results.

Also speaking exclusively to Oasis Magazine during the event, the Secretary of NAPPS Delta State Chapter, Deaconess (Mrs) Rose Obi, described the groundbreaking as a dream come true, expressing gratitude to God for making the acquisition of the land possible.

Obi described the project site as beautiful and well located, saying the achievement was a source of joy for the chapter.
