Bishop Anagbe who prayed and blessed Hanmation,
emphasized the need for the younger generation to take over leadership to handle present realities of life.

The Bishop expressed happiness that Hanmation came with his wife to seek God’s blessing, noting that women play a very significant role in governance and advised Mrs. Fayum to sustain prayers and remain a strong pillar of support to her husband.
