About the Nigerian Baptist Convention
The Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC) is one of the oldest and largest Christian denominational bodies in Nigeria, tracing its roots to 1850 when Southern Baptist missionaries from the United States began missionary work in Nigeria, with the Convention itself formally established in 1914. Over more than a century, the NBC has grown into a vast network of thousands of local churches, conferences, and associations spread across the country, with a strong emphasis on evangelism, education, healthcare, and community development.
The Convention runs numerous seminaries, colleges, hospitals, and mission agencies, and remains a major voice in Nigeria’s Christian community, with leadership passing through successive Presidents who steer its affairs nationally and internationally.
About Abraham Tabernacle Chorale
Abraham Tabernacle Chorale is the music ministry arm of Abraham’s Tabernacle International Worship Centre in Sagamu, Ogun State, under the resident pastorate of Rev. Dr. Israel Olubii Olaniyan. The chorale has, over the years, built a reputation for excellence in gospel music ministration, serving the local congregation while also representing the church at various Baptist conventions, conferences, and inter-denominational programmes. The new bus donation is expected to significantly ease the group’s logistics for ministrations and outreach programmes within and outside Sagamu.
