Groundbreaking 23 February 2002 by Elder H. Bruce Stucki
The highly visible temple site is located north of the Ogbor River on the outskirts of Aba overlooking the surrounding valley on Okpu-Umuobo Road.
The road pictured below was paved by the Church and a
concrete bridge was also built by the Church over the nearby river.
At the ground breaking ceremony, Elder Stucki commented, "The mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to invite the children of God to return back into His presence. We believe the best way to accomplish this is to teach the people how to improve themselves both temporally and spiritually. We encourage them to perfect themselves. The buildings we build and the people we guide and strengthen will long stand as monuments to our commitment to assist in the building of this great country."
