Today, August 24th,
FOSA ’84 and FOSA National Body with the family of Peace Chapel International Church joins hands, hearts and voices to celebrate a man whose life has become a testimony of faith, fatherhood, and unwavering commitment to the Kingdom : Bishop Ambassador Edward Williams Chanomi.
Fondly addressed simply as “Dad” by a congregation that has come to see him not merely as a cleric but as a spiritual father in the truest sense, Bishop Chanomi’s ministry at Peace Chapel International Church stands as a testament to what happens when a man answers a call and refuses to look back. As his church so fittingly puts it: “We’re champions because you answered the call.” That single line captures the essence of servant-leadership — a shepherd who has given himself fully to shepherding others toward purpose, healing, and spiritual growth.

On this milestone birthday, we celebrate not just the years he has lived, but the lives he has touched, the families he has strengthened, and the community of faith he continues to build with wisdom, humility, and grace. A man of the cloth who bears his robes with dignity, Bishop Chanomi represents a generation of Nigerian clergy quietly transforming their communities one soul, one sermon, one act of pastoral care at a time.
As proud members of the FOSA ’84 family — alumni of Government Secondary School Minna, now Fr. O’Connell Science Secondary School Minna — we extend our warmest congratulations and prayers to Bishop Chanomi on this special day. Our alumni network has always taken pride in celebrating figures within our extended Minna community who exemplify excellence, service, and integrity and Bishop Chanomi’s decades of spiritual leadership reflect exactly that spirit.
To the celebrant: may this new year of your life be crowned with divine strength, sound health and increased grace to continue answering the call that has defined your ministry. May the church you have laboured to build continue to flourish under your watch, and may your family, congregation, and community continue to rise up and call you blessed.
Happy Birthday, Bishop Sir. We love and celebrate you always.
