In his brief address, Archbishop Okoh described the work done as magnificent; adding that the beauty of the place must be maintained by whoever is asked to live in the building. He pointed out that the building of the vicarage is intended to be an encouragement to the Priest that will be posted there and also an incentive to him, to work hard as a lot of effort was put in the building of the vicarage. He humorously said that the person sent there ought to pray well, because the house is facing a hill, but also admonished that whoever is posted there should not get carried away and feel relaxed, forgetting his assignment in that community.
Primate Okoh stated that the Church should look forward to becoming an Archdeaconry and therefore, any Priest sent there must realize that there was no time to be lazing around. He warned that any Priest posted there must work or be removed. The Cleric also admonished the family that would reside in that building to live up to standards and maintain the beauty of the place, because there were others who were going to live there and a lot of efforts had been put in to ensure that the place turned out well. The Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh concluded with a prayer that God will bless all who worked to ensure that the place was completed, especially the members of the All Saints Anglican Church, Wuse, Abuja and that the house will be a center of peace and not controversy.
