I am a Development Consultant
Rev. DR. Eric Ehidiame Ighalo (MBA,MCL,FCS,DMin,JP)
My conviction is rooted in the firm belief that the Christian Church holds the key to holistic transformation of human societies and the communities where they live.The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus is first and foremost about restoration ,fullness of life and living. It’s about food to the hungry, equal access, inclusivity,peace and justice here on earth.
These are all development indices. Rev. My Christian Values and Faith walk has seen me lead diverse forms of healing and wholeness interventions across Africa as an active youth leader of the STUDENT CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT OF NIGERIA and having served as the AFRICAN Rep on the GLOBAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE WORLD STUDENT CHRISTIAN FEDERATION(WSCF).

Financial Planner/Investment Councellor-ERIC and PARTNERS
Over 35 years of being actively involved in the Financial and Investment world as well as being a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers has fully prepared me for my call to the church world on the issues of FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP and WEALTH CREATION. I served at various times on the Board of The Institute of Financial Planning (Nigeria). My very successful and foundational book “The Twelve Laws of Wealth” lays out an unshaken and proven belief that Wealth creation is something one truly desires-is a LEARNED ART.
Through serial conference speaking, workshop facilitating, and business/Investment mentoring, I have passionately demonstrated that both self-inflicted, systemic and spiritual causes of poverty can be defeated and am committed to working and praying for a reversal in African communities ravaged with poverty and unjust systems.. In tandem with Wealth creation and Godly stewardship are my teachings on GIVING, PHILANTHROPY and FUNDRAISING.
One of my favourite quotes is “FUNDRAISING IS BOTH AN ART and A SURVIVAL SKILL”. This is why I believe every young person must learn the art of FUNDRAISING. It will serve you well to attend any of my online workshops or sign up for any of my self-paced courses.
Mission Enabler - Changemakers Africa
The LAST command of Our Lord and Saviour to all, who profess to love, serve and follow him, is the command to “Go” not “Wait” or “Sit”.I really do take this seriously and believe every Christian youth and church leader should.
The outcome also of the FIRST command to “Follow Me” inevitably leads to becoming fishers of men and women. I am daily praying for Grace to be fully obedient.
From visiting, teaching and disciplining secondary schools and Higher Institutions youths in my early days under the grooming of the Student Christian Movement (SCM) of Nigeria, and through my study/mission services in the United Kingdom and The West Indies under the umbrella of the Council For World Missions(CWM)-UK, I have been on the move with an understanding of diverse, creative and successful models of youth empowerment and leadership development templates.
An alumnus of the All Nations For Christ Bible Institute, CWM-Training In Missions(TIM) , the West Africa Theological Seminary (WATS) and the Haggai International Leadership Institute as well as an active leader of the Student Christian Movement and the Movement for African National Initiatives (MANI) -i remain committed to building friendly bridges as well as as strengthening cross-cultural mission initiatives and development- particularly to unreached people groups and young people.
Few Places I Serve

I am also currently the Chairperson of the African Region of the World Student Christian Federation(WSCF)-the umbrella organization of the Student Christian Movements (SCM) Worldwide; and immediate past Chairperson of Christian Rural and Urban Development Association of Nigeria(CRUDAN) -one of Nigeria’s largest Faith-based development organizations. I currently serve, among others, on the Governing Council of the West African Theological Seminary, Teenage Support Organization (TSO) , and Providence Vocational Academy and provide guidance on the impact ministry of this development agency.
