THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED IN GROWING THE ARCHDEACONRY
Going by the founding of the Archdeaconry, the proposal to carve Ketu area out as a Provisional Archdeaconry was made of Chief Oyebola Akinola during the tenure of Late Bishop, Rt. Revd. T.I.O. Bolaji, who asked that the area pay the sum of two hundred thousand naira before the Synod of that particular year, in order to approve Ketu area as a Provisional Archdeaconry. Much effort was made by Chief Oyebola Akinola and his committee before they could raised almost 1/3 of the money. Thereafter, the Bishop granted their request to make Ketu area as Provisional Archdeaconry.
