A cross-session of key participants<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Project Development Office (PDO) of the Salesians of Don Bosco, Africa Nigeria Niger (ANN) Province, has officially launched a training program for establishing a Mission Office in the province.<\/p>\n

The two-day training, held in Abuja on October 20th and 21st, 2025, marked a major step toward strengthening the province\u2019s capacity for sustainable resource mobilisation and mission growth.<\/p>\n

Fr. Eric Mairura from the Mission Office of the Generalate led the training. He emphasised that the establishment of a Mission Office goes far beyond fundraising; it is a strategic effort in resource mobilisation deeply rooted in the Salesian charism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He explained that the Mission Office would operate under the Provincial Economer\u2019s Office, ensuring proper coordination and accountability. According to him, \u201cThe Mission Office is a pastoral engine for resource mobilisation, distinct from the Project Development Office (PDO), and will have the capacity to solicit support both locally and internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key participants in the training included Fr. Raphael Airoboman, the Provincial Economer; Fr. Ambrose Anene, who will oversee the Mission Office; Fr. Stephen Niyi, Bro. Martins PushParaj, and Mr Joseph Bassey, among others.<\/p>\n

The launch of the Mission Office training reflects the Salesians\u2019 ongoing commitment to building stronger structures for mission sustainability and community development.<\/p>\n

As we move forward, we are confident that this initiative will enhance our impact, strengthen collaboration, and foster growth in our mission to serve young people and vulnerable communities across the province.<\/p>\n

Together, we continue to work for God\u2019s glory and the good of humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
