Legislative Aide to the lawmaker, Mr Titus Agbo in a statement said Ebenyi gave the money to enable the church to complete its cathedral building of the new St. Andrew’s Church at Ikem.
Speaking before a large congregation, Ebenyi said he would continue to support the church so it can successfully propagate its teachings to all the nooks and crannies of the local government area.
He also pledged to bear the costs of training two of the church’s pastoral workers for a four-year comprehensive theological course.
Apart from the N500,000 donation, Ebenyi made monetary contributions toward the building of the Bishop’s Court at Eha-Amufu.
The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Eha-Amufu, Rt. Rev. Daniel Nkemjika Olinya expressed appreciation for this support, describing Ebenyi as very caring and prayed that God continues to reward him for his support to the church.
Bishop Olinya praised the Bishop of Ideato Diocese in Imo State, Rt. Rev. Caleb Anezionwuonyeogegbu Maduoma for being the first to sow monetary seed for the Bishop’s Court.
Present at the occasion were the chairman of the Isi-Uzo local government area, Chief Augustine Nnamani; representative of Isi-Uzo in the Enugu State House of Assembly, Dr. Emeka Ogbuebor; the Commissioner for Human Development and Poverty Reduction in Enugu State, Mr Godwin Ogenyi; Deputy National Financial Secretary of PDP, Chief Osita Ogene; priests and others.
It will be recalled that at the end of last year, Ebenyi donated building materials worth millions of naira to Anglican Churches in Isi-Uzo local government area.
He also gave out motorcycles to the church to enable it propagate the gospel to the rural communities.
