Bishop Okwudili Eze Hails Apostle Jerry Eze’s Empowerment of 240 Persons, Says ‘Heaven Is Proud’

_Abuja, Nigeria – 29th April 2026_

Bishop Okwudili Eze has publicly commended Apostle Jerry Eze for his far-reaching philanthropic interventions and spiritual impact, with particular reference to the recent financial empowerment of 240 persons aimed at lifting and transforming their lives.

In a statement released on Monday, Bishop Eze expressed deep appreciation for Apostle Jerry Eze’s consistent investment in people, describing the gesture as a reflection of kingdom principles, compassionate leadership, and the true mandate of the Church.

“Thank you so much, Apostle Jerry Eze, for the lives of those 240 persons you financially empowered to be lifted and transformed,” Bishop Eze said. “Thank you so much for investing heavily in the lives of these ones. Heaven is so proud of you, Apostle.”

*Church as a Solution Center*

Bishop Eze noted that such acts of generosity demonstrate the Church’s role as a solution center for spiritual, social, and economic challenges confronting society. He emphasized that empowering individuals financially not only changes their immediate circumstances but creates ripple effects that uplift families, communities, and entire nations.

“Beyond prayer, the Church must provide answers,” he stated. “When we address poverty, unemployment, and hopelessness with practical solutions, we mirror Christ’s model of ministry.”

*‘The Church Is Marching On’*

Declaring that “the Church is marching on, and the gates of hell shall not prevail,” Bishop Eze said leaders like Apostle Jerry Eze who rise to meet needs beyond the pulpit strengthen the Body of Christ and advance God’s agenda on earth.

The financial empowerment initiative has drawn widespread commendation and aligns with Apostle Jerry Eze’s growing reputation for combining global prayer movements — notably NSPPD [New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations] — with practical acts of compassion, humanitarian outreach, and nation-building across continents.

*Charge to Keep Building*

Bishop Eze concluded his message with a charge: “Keep shooting always.” He urged Apostle Jerry Eze and other ministry leaders to remain steadfast in philanthropy, evangelism, discipleship, and nation-building, stressing that such works are eternal investments with both earthly and heavenly rewards.

He further called on the wider Church to emulate models of ministry that balance spiritual fervor with socioeconomic impact, noting that “revival without responsibility is incomplete.”

NURSING COLLEGE HOLDS MATRICULATION AND CAPPING CEREMONY, CHARGES STUDENTS ON INTEGRITY AND DISCIPLINE.

Enugu, Nigeria –
Ezzy International College of Nursing Sciences, Akpuoga Nike, in Enugu State, has formally inducted a new cohort of one hundred and seventy nursing and midwifery students into the 2025/2026 academic session, with a colourful matriculation and capping ceremony.

The event, which was held at the college premises as the second matriculation of the college was employed to underscore the importance of discipline, ethics, and academic excellence in healthcare training. It also brought together dignitaries, faculty members, parents, and well-wishers who gathered to witness the symbolic transition of the students into the noble profession of nursing and midwifery.

In her welcome address, the Chief Executive Officer of Ezzy International Group of Companies, USA and Nigeria, Dr Gloria Chijioke Bertram-Okoli, congratulated the matriculating students and charged them to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and moral conduct throughout their training and beyond. She emphasised that the nursing and midwifery professions, and indeed the entire healthcare sector, demand not only intellectual competence but also compassion, integrity, and unwavering dedication to saving human life.

The highlight of the ceremony was the lecture themed “Building a Culture of Academic Integrity and Professional Discipline”, delivered by the Matriculation Guest Lecturer, a U.S.-based Dr. Nelson Aliyu and the CEO of Eralmed Medical Inc. New Jersey, USA whom Hon. Sanni Kafeel Abdulkadir CSK ably represented. In the lecture, the students were reminded that integrity remains the foundation of credible healthcare delivery, while discipline is essential for maintaining trust and excellence in the profession.

Speaking on behalf of the guest lecturer, Hon. Kafeel hinted that their training was not confined to the classroom but extended to the preservation of society, especially in human life, dignity, and trust. He urged the students to resist all forms of academic malpractice and unprofessional conduct, as every examination taken with honesty, assignment completed with diligence, and clinical practice conducted with sincerity would contribute to the formation of a professional whose decisions may one day determine outcomes of life or death.

“Academic integrity is the foundation upon which true learning is built. It demands honesty in thought, originality in expression, and respect for the intellectual contributions of others. In an age where access to information is immediate and abundant, the temptation to compromise standards is ever-present. Yet, it is precisely in such times that integrity must be most firmly upheld. Knowledge acquired without honesty is not empowerment—it is deception, and it ultimately diminishes both the individual and the institution.”

He emphasised. He further noted that the future of the health sector rests on practitioners who are not only skilled but also ethically grounded and encouraged them to remain focused, worthy in character, and committed to lifelong learning.

The capping segment of the ceremony conducted by the provost of the institution, Mrs Ugwuanyi Augustina Ngozi, was a deeply symbolic tradition in nursing education which signified the students’ readiness to begin their clinical training and hands-on patient care under professional supervision. It served as a solemn reminder of their responsibilities and the ethical obligations attached to the professions.

The Administrator of the College, Mrs Okwudu Ifeyinwa Peace, reiterated the college’s commitment to providing quality education, practical exposure, and mentorship aimed at producing globally competitive nurses and midwives who can contribute meaningfully to healthcare delivery both within Nigeria and internationally.

Among the dignitaries present at the occasion were, Sir Emmanuel Sunday Nwankwor (CEO, Nwas oil and gas of the Board of Trustees, Ezzy International College of Nursing Sciences, Mrs. Uchenna A. Eze Provost, Bishop Shanaha College of Nursing Sciences Nsukka, Dr. Chinonye Festa Onyekwuo, Provost, Merit College of Nursing Sciences, Owerri, Chief Esv. Emmanuel Nnaji, Surveyor Emenike Maduegbunam from the Ministry of Land, Enugu State.

They include Alhaji Ndagi Alhassan, the CEO/Registrar of Nursing & Midwifery Council of Nigeria, Prof. George Ugwu, the Enugu State Commissioner for Health; Engr. Pst. Beloved Dan Obi Anike, the Executive Chairman of Enugu East Local Government Area; and Prof. Uchenna Ifeanyi Nwagha, who is the immediate past provost at the College of Medicine, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus.
