The Order of Preachers (Dominicans), Province of St Joseph the Worker, Nigeria and Ghana, has elected Very Rev. Fr Dominic Eshikena, OP, as its new Prior Provincial.
Fr Eshikena, a long-serving member of the Dominican family, made his simple profession on 21 September 1991 and professed his solemn vows on 16 September 1995. He was ordained a priest on 23 September 2000, marking the beginning of a ministry dedicated to preaching, teaching and pastoral service.
His election signals a new chapter for the province, which continues to play a significant role in evangelisation and formation across Nigeria and Ghana.
Members of the Dominican family have expressed their goodwill and prayers for the new Prior Provincial, asking God to grant him the wisdom and grace needed to lead the brothers and strengthen the mission of the Order.
Fr Eshikena takes up his new role at a time when the Church in West Africa continues to confront pastoral and social challenges, with the Dominicans committed to proclaiming the Gospel for the salvation of souls.
