To all Saints and friends of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ijebu-Ode,

We rejoice in sharing an inspiring milestone in the growth of the Lord’s kingdom within the Remo Community. Under the direction of the Stake Presidency, the Sagamu Ward has successfully created a new unit of the Church in the historic town of Ilishan Remo!

Ilishan Remo is a vibrant, expanding town located in the Remo region of Ogun State, southwestern Nigeria. Widely regarded as an educational hub, it notably serves as the home of Babcock University. The establishment of this new unit represents the latest chapter in the steady, faithful maturation of the Church across the major hubs of Ogun State, standing as a testament to the accelerating work of salvation in this region. The expansion into Ilishan Remo builds upon a deep legacy of faith established in neighboring areas.

Ijebu-Ode holds a foundational place for the Church in southwestern Nigeria outside of Lagos. The Ijebu-Ode Nigeria District was officially organized in 1993, making it one of the longest-standing units of the Church in the region.

Today, the Church has expanded significantly throughout the area, operating multiple wards and branches along key routes like Igbeba, Ejirin Road, and Irewon Road. The stake of Zion continues to strengthen as the gospel takes deep root in surrounding communities, including Sagamu, Ilese, Imushin, Ijebu-Ife, and Ago-Iwoye.

We invite all to pray for the pioneering members and the full-time missionaries laboring in this new vineyard as they work to establish a firm foundation for the Saints in Ilishan Remo.

Departing Message from Elder Emediong Udo:

I thank Heavenly Father for the strength to endure. As the Savior taught, “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Today, May 25, 2026, marks the completion of my two full years as a missionary. I have learned that “he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13). The Lord has been with me, and I have felt His refining hand.

I echo the words of Nephi: “I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them” (1 Nephi 3:7). He prepared a way for me through every trial.

Thank you, God, for this sacred opportunity to serve, to grow, and to come closer to Christ. I am forever changed.

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling—
Calling for you and for me.
Patiently Jesus is waiting and watching—
Watching for you and for me!

Come home! Come home! Ye who are weary, come home!
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling—
Calling, O sinner, come home
