List of Anglican bishops in Nigeria
This is a list of the archbishops and bishops in the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, in post in 2007.[1]
In 2007, the church had 10 provinces in Nigeria, each with an archbishop. Each province is divided into dioceses; there were 138 dioceses in Nigeria (and 3 external mission dioceses), each with a bishop. Each archbishop is also the bishop of one of the dioceses in his province.
The pre-eminent archbishop, the Primate of All Nigeria, is chosen from the archbishops, and becomes Bishop of Abuja.
The primate in 2007 was Peter Akinola, who served from 2000 to 2010.
