First Plenary Session 2026 of the Catholic Bishop Conference of Nigeria: MCE Workshop on Transparency, Accountability, and Evaluation of the Catholic Church in Nigeria in collaboration with the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (February 20-21, 2026)
Catholic Church in Nigeria:
- 33 million Catholics today (expected: 47 million by 2050)
- 94% Sunday Mass attendance (in the USA: 27%; in Italy: 19%)
- Seminaries full (Enugu: ~800 seminarians)
- 9,500+ priests and 6,500+ religious sisters (2020) in 4,000+ parishes nationwide
- Major moral and social force in the nation
And at the same time:
- Among the most dangerous countries to be Christian
- Estimated 50,000+ Christians killed in the last 14 years
- Frequent kidnappings of clergy (including Bishops!)
- 4 to 5 million Christians displaced into internal displacement (IDP) camps.
- Hundreds of churches and schools attacked or destroyed (e.g., Borno State)
Growth and persecution coexist.
Vitality and vulnerability go together.

MCE Church Management Initiatives in Nigeria!
At the invitation of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria, we are pleased to replicate our Transparency and Accountability Workshop in Abuja this February 2026. We anticipate approximately 100 participants, including bishops and diocesan financial directors.
The Nigerian Church operates in an increasingly challenging environment marked by security threats, violent extremism targeting clergy and faithful, and public scrutiny of institutional finances. This workshop responds directly to these pressures by providing Church leaders with concrete tools for transparent and accountable governance.
