Message from our Director
Msgr. Prof. Dr. Obiora Ike
May I welcome you to the Catholic Institute for Development, Justice, and Peace (CIDJAP) which is internationally known and recognised for its various philanthropic activities, educational support, legal aid, prisoners welfare, health interventions, and research activities she carries out.
Having started this world-renowned Catholic charitable institution in 1986 as its founding Director and leaving in 2016 to take up the position of Executive Director of Globethics, Geneva, and now back again in February 2022 as the Director of CIDJAP, I hope that with your support, CIDJAP will continue her work of impacting the lives of thousands of people here in Nigeria.
