Izon Ware, Yenagoa – February 21, 2025
The Ijaw National Congress (INC) has officially announced the postponement of the much-anticipated Ijaw Cultural Day and Award Event in honour of the late elder statesman, Pa. Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, following his recent passing.
In a statement signed by the INC President, Prof. Benjamin Ogele Okaba, the congress described Pa. Clark as a “father figure, beacon of wisdom, and tireless advocate for the Ijaw nation and the Niger Delta.” His contributions toward unity, development, and justice for his people are considered invaluable and will continue to inspire future generations.
Extended Mourning Period
As a mark of deep respect for his legacy and lifelong commitment to the Ijaw cause, the INC has extended the official mourning period from three (3) days to seven (7) days. The extended period will give the Ijaw community, allies, and well-wishers sufficient time to reflect on Pa. Clark’s remarkable life and mourn his passing appropriately. The mourning period will officially end by midnight on February 25, 2025.
The INC also assured the public that a new date for the Ijaw Cultural Day & Award Event will be announced soon, with the rescheduled event now expected to serve as a broader tribute to Pa. Clark’s enduring influence on the Ijaw nation and Nigeria as a whole.
Plans for a National Burial Committee
In addition to extending the mourning period, the INC revealed plans to establish a National Burial Committee. The committee, to be constituted by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the INC, will collaborate closely with the family of the late Pa. Clark, community leaders, government representatives at all levels, and various interest groups across the globe.
The goal is to ensure that the late elder statesman receives a well-deserved burial that reflects his profound impact on the Ijaw people and the nation at large.
A Legacy Beyond Borders
Pa. Edwin Kiagbodo Clark was a towering figure in Nigerian politics and activism, known for his relentless pursuit of justice and development for the Niger Delta region. His contributions, spanning several decades, made him a symbol of unity and progress for the Ijaw people and an inspiration for advocates of minority rights across the country.
The INC has called on all Ijaw sons and daughters, as well as friends of the Ijaw nation, to observe the extended mourning period with “dignity and reverence” in honour of the late leader’s memory.
“May his soul rest in perfect peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire unity, progress, and justice within the Ijaw nation,” the statement concluded.
Further announcements regarding funeral arrangements and official events in his honour will be made by the INC in due course.

Bishop Oyedepo has announced that 32 transformers will be used to power the Ark when it comes on stream after it’s November dedication. According to him, during the second service yesterday, 4th May 2025 at the Faith Tabernacle, this will be required because of the large power requirement at the new building. The Ark will have 129 elevators, travelators and escalators which will move worshippers including elderly people and in other cases, challenged folks who require healing up and down the 4 floor, 109,000 capacity bowl as well as the 5,000 capacity youth church and 20,000 seat children’s church. Additionally, the staff will operate between the 12 twin tower mission headquarters and use of the staircase may not always be practicable.
Canaanland already had a 15MW Power plant installed in 2016 but this will be inadequate for power needs of the Ark. The Dome will also draw 1MW of solar energy to the facility while the roof is designed to gather rain 🌧 water to aid in flushing the 1,200 restrooms by gravity.
The transformers located at the new power plant required to power plant is much bigger than the present plant.
It is believed to be already under construction and would be finished in time for the dedication of the Ark.
The new Megawatt power plant reported to be 80MW will help to supply electricity to the whole of Canaanland including The Ark, Covenant University, Canaan City and possibly some parts of Ota.
According to Bishop Oyedepo, Canaanland has never experienced a complete electricity blackout since 1999 contrary to the norm in Nigeria.
