Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, and former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan are set to attend the commissioning and dedication of a 750-capacity Christian chapel at the National Assembly on Sunday, March 1, 2026.
The event, organised by the Christian Legislators Fellowship of the National Assembly, is expected to draw eminent Nigerians, senior clerics, and policymakers from across the country.
In a statement issued on Tuesday and jointly signed by the Fellowship’s President, Senator Binus Yaroe, and Secretary, Bamidele Salam, a member of the House of Representatives, the group said the dedication of the chapel marks a new phase in efforts to strengthen spiritual fellowship among Christian lawmakers and staff members within the legislature.
According to the statement, the commissioning ceremony is expected to “bring together prominent Christian leaders, policymakers, and dignitaries in a moment of thanksgiving and spiritual reflection.”
The organisers added that the facility is designed to serve as a place of worship and spiritual support for Christian members and staff of the National Assembly, fostering unity and shared values within the parliamentary community.
