The General Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN), Pastor Samuel Sanusi, has been elected the Chairman, Steering Committee of the West Africa Bible Society CEOs Affinity Group.
The election took place in Lomé, Togo, recently during the West Africa CEOs Affinity Group meeting. Beyond the Bible Societies in West Africa, he will also oversee those in Central Africa.
The Media Manager of BSN, Mr Benjamin Mordi made this known in a statement made available to Church Times.
While accepting the responsibility, Pastor Sanusi said that his aspiration was to ensure an Affinity Group that would serve as a role model for other affinity groups in Africa and the United Bible Societies (UBS) at large.
According to him, he would be glad to leave behind West African Bible Societies that are self-sustaining and could contribute meaningfully to the global fellowship of Bible Societies.
In a similar development in Nairobi, Kenya, he was elected as a member of the All-Africa Bible Societies CEOs Affinity Group and Chairman of the Group’s constitution review committee.
The Bible Society of Nigeria has remained unbeatable in Bible distribution in Africa and is among the top five Bible distributors globally, according to the yearly global Bible distribution statistics by the UBS.
For English Bible distribution, Nigeria has remained number one globally for a very long time now.
BSN is a nonprofit interdenominational Christian organisation that translates the Bible into Nigerian languages, publishes and distributes the Scriptures, and raises funds for Bible work.
