Nigeria: Effective Collaboration on behalf of the poor

The leadership of the Vincentian Family of Nigeria met on 4-6 March at the Pastoral Centre in Lokoja (Nigeria) and reflected on the theme: “Collaboration for Effective Service for the Poor.” In attendance were members of the six branches of the Vincentian Family established in Nigeria (CM, DC, AIC, JMV, SSVP, and AMM). As a result of the meeting, there was a commitment to develop a project to construct a hostel to accommodate, at minimum cost, stranded travellers in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
