 PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES GOVERNOR HYACINTH ALIA ON HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia,  Governor of Benue State, and an ordained priest on his 60th birthday. In a statement personally signed by President Tinubu, he says "I commend Governor Alia for his transformative efforts to industrialise the state and expand its road network. Benue State, famously Nigeria's food basket, now has tomatoes and fruit juice, beer, nylon and polythene factories, as well as a large-scale bakery, providing jobs for its people and adding value to its agricultural products. The iconic underpasses in Makurdi and Gboko have also eased traffic and improved urban life." It adds that Governor Alia's political journey is simply that of faith made manifest, ordained a Catholic priest in 1990 by Bishop Athanasius Atule Usuh of Makurdi Catholic Diocese. It was no surprise that his people, whom he had long served faithfully in the vineyard o...

 King Charles Hosts Maundy Service in Wales for the First Time in Decades


King Charles and Queen Camilla were in Wales on April 2 for the Royal Maundy Service, marking a rare return of the tradition to the country. 


It was the first time the event has been held in Wales since 1982, and only the second time in the service’s long history.


The ceremony took place at St. Asaph Cathedral in north Wales, and it carried personal significance for Prince William and Kate Middleton. 


Since King Charles became monarch in September 2022, William and Kate have held the historic titles of Prince and Princess of Wales, frequently visiting the region in their new roles. 


King Charles himself carried the title of Prince of Wales for 64 years before ascending the throne, adding another layer of meaning to the occasion.


At the service, King Charles personally presented Royal Maundy gifts to 77 men and 77 women, honoring their dedicated Christian service within communities across Wales and the wider U.K. The number of recipients matched the King’s age, with each person receiving two purses of Maundy Money. 


One white purse contained 77 specially minted silver pennies, while the red purse included a £5 coin marking the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s birth and a 50p coin celebrating the 50th anniversary of The King’s Trust, one of King Charles’ charitable initiatives.


Music for the service was commissioned from Welsh composers, adding a festive, cultural touch. 


A highlight was the processional Cross of Wales, a gift from King Charles that had also been used during his coronation at Westminster Abbey in May 2023. 


The cross contains a fragment of the True Cross, believed to be part of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, and was gifted to Pope Francis.


After the service, the King and Queen joined the Royal Maundy Party for the customary group photograph outside the West Door of the cathedral. 


They also took time to meet members of the cathedral community, sharing a warm and personal connection with attendees.


The Royal Maundy Service is an ancient tradition dating back to 600 AD, commemorating Jesus washing the feet of his Apostles at the Last Supper. Traditionally, the number of coins distributed corresponds to the monarch’s age. King Charles has maintained this practice each year of his reign, with the exception of 2024, when he temporarily paused duties due to ongoing cancer treatment. 


In December 2025, he shared encouraging news that the intensity of his treatment would be reduced this year, allowing him to resume public engagements such as this meaningful service.
