Good Shepherd Major Seminary, Kaduna, a cornerstone of priestly formation in Northern Nigeria has marked 25 years of formation, sacrifice, resilience, and growth, while unveiling ambitious plans for the institution’s future.
The Rector of the institution, Very Rev. Fr. Joel Haruna Usman, during a press conference to kickstart the anniversary, described the occasion as a moment of thanksgiving, reflection, and renewed commitment to the mission of the Church.
According to the Rector, the institution, since its establishment in 2000, has trained hundreds of Catholic priests now serving across Nigeria and abroad, and it has become a beacon of hope and learning in a region often marred by insecurity and socio-economic challenges.
The cleric stated that the Seminary’s goal remains the formation of “faithful and courageous shepherds of Christ’s flock.”
The stakeholders also urged for the full implementation of Electoral Accountability, Gender Equity and Social Inclusion in Nigeria for better women participation in politics.
The call was made during a stakeholders meeting on electoral accountability, gender equity and Social Inclusion in Nigeria.
The event was organised by Women’s Rights Advancement and Protection Alternative (WRAPA) in collaboration with Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) supported by MacArthur foundation.
