The Catholic Diocese of Issele-Uku, is a local Church in Nigeria under the Roman Pontiff and also a Catholic organisation that works and prays for the Word of God, alive and active, to transform the world. In serving the Church, the clergy, religious and laity strive for a community founded on truth and justice.
