A. W. Banfield. By 1912, The Rev. C.H Williams headed the work of Kutigi, reaching out to over 60 villages. In 1921 the foundation stone of the first church was laid. In 1956 this was demolished and replaced during the tenure of Rev. Daniel Jiya. He was succeeded by Canon Samuel Audu Latiko. In 2013 a new Cathedral was begun.
