It will also be a moment when the Holy Father will be holding the Episcopal Conference of Africa to begin the struggle for justice, peace and reconciliation in the continent.’
Father Aloysius Ituka Ndifor, principal of a Catholic college in Cameroon, added, ‘Cameroonians should take the visit as a special favor from the successor of St. Peter on earth.We look forward to that maiden visit with great excitement, joy and continuous prayers.’
