The new Provincial Superior in his remarks, acknowledged the immediate past Provincial Superior, Very Rev. Fr. George Clement Angmor, SVD, and his council for their tireless acts of service and immense contributions towards the tremendous growth and development of the Ghana-Liberia Province.

“Indeed, the echoes of the many successes associated with their tenure of office, which are not unknown to us, remain truly endless in the annals of our society. It is, therefore, a great honour for my Council and I to continue this race of serving Ghana, Liberia, and the world at large through the Society of the Divine Word”, he said.

He further shared the vision of his council and ended by saying, “ let us consciously empty ourselves of all that remains incompatible with the love God commands.
