Nigeria is divided into thirty-six states and one Federal Capital Territory. Nigeria OA planned to set up churches in each state, as well as a variety of ministries. And they are gathered by region under the leadership of the regional headquarters. The regional headquarters are normally located in the most populous or transportation hub in each region to serve numerous churches and organizations. Mission strategies and administration are facilitated by the regional Olivet Centres to maintain, develop, and expand their member bodies in useful collaboration and communication.
Regional Headquarters formulate diverse projects and programs to develop a sense of community among pastors, ministers, and missionaries within the region. They also cast regional vision and future while mediating the national goal towards God’s Kingdom in Nigeria.
Region representatives and leaders would join the regular meeting with the staff of the National General Office. The annual meeting is convened at the end of October by an invitation by the General Office in London. The map above presents how those regions within Nigeria are divided. Congregations and ministries grouped in each area promote strategic mission development aligned with region characters.
