The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) mourns the passing of Rev. Fr. Dr. Polycarp Lubo, Chairman of CAN, Plateau State, who went to be with the Lord on June 15, 2025, following a brief illness after a road accident.
Fr. Lubo’s departure is a profound loss to the Christian community, to our nation, and to me personally. He was not only a dedicated colleague but also a dear friend, whose wisdom, humility, and warmth left a lasting imprint on my life.
Fr. Lubo stood as a beacon of faith and service. His unwavering commitment to peacebuilding, interfaith harmony, and the mission of the Church was an inspiration to all who encountered him.
As a CAN leader, he served with integrity and deep compassion. His advocacy for justice, and his support for national health initiatives such as immunization and polio eradication, made a significant impact. His life exemplified the transformative power of unity, love, and service.
CAN stands with Governor Caleb Mutfwang, the government and people of Plateau State, the Catholic Church, the Plateau State CAN chapter, and the family of Fr. Lubo in mourning this irreplaceable loss. We extend our heartfelt condolences to all who knew and loved him, praying that God will grant comfort and strength during this time of grief.
We urge the Christian faithful and all Nigerians to honour his legacy by continuing the noble work he championed; peace, justice, and unity.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Signed:
Archbishop Daniel Okoh
President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)
