FATHER GEORGE

But who is he?

George Omaku Ehusani (famously called Father George) is a Nigerian priest of the Roman Catholic Church. He currently functions as the Executive Director of Lux Terra Leadership Foundation which he founded in 2008. He is widely acclaimed as a revolutionary priest with an activist apostolate. He is also the Founder and Faculty Member of the Psycho-Spiritual Institute (PSI) with campuses in Nairobi, Kenya, and Abuja, Nigeria.

'''Early Life ' Fr George was born on December 6, 1957 in Okene, Kogi State. He was raised a Catholic by his parents, although his grandmother who was a pioneer Catholic in Okene played an influential role in his religious upbringing. It was the heroic life of Christian witnessing of his grandmother as well as his admiration for Rev. Fr. Alexius Makozi, his cousin who later became bishop, that influenced his decision to become a priest. From his youth, Fr George distinguished himself in peer leadership such that at the age of 16, he became President of the Young Catholic Students both in his secondary school and in the Diocese of Lokoja. He would later be ordained a priest of the Catholic Diocese of Lokoja on August 15, 1981 in Okene by his cousin, Most Reverend Alexius Makozi, who was the then Bishop of Lokoja Diocese, at the young age of 23.
