“We enjoin all to pray for his peaceful repose, and information regarding his burial will be announced as soon as possible”.

Late Bishop Dodo started his pastoral assignment at St. Joseph Catholic Cathedral, Kaduna where he served as the assistant cathedral administrator from July 1983 – June 1984.
