The Rt. Revd. Clement Nathan Ekpeye was consecrated Bishop of the newly created Anglican Diocese of Ahoada on 25 July 2004 at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, Abuja.
In 1952,a new diocese was carved out of the Niger Delta Protectorate and named Niger Delta Diocese and Ahoada and it's surroundings became part of this Diocese. Ahoada had a full parish church under the new Diocese, it became a district and later and Archdeaconry made up of Ekepye, Egene, Abua, Ogba, Egbema, Ndoni, Ahoada is now a Diocese on its own, hence it is now addressed as the Diocese of Ahoada from July 2004 with Saint Paul's Church as a Cathedral.
