Thursday, 26 July 2018 was the last day of the Father’s stay in Nigeria, and nobody was looking to saying goodbye, neither the Prelate nor those he came to see in Nigeria. Early that day, the Father paid a visit to Msgr. Alfred Martins, the Archbishop of Lagos, in his house. They chatted for more than half an hour. Later he went into the Cathedral for a brief time of prayer.

On Wednesday, 25 July 2018, some of the students of the Institute for Industrial Technology (IIT) in Isheri, Lagos, had the opportunity of showing the Prelate of Opus Dei around their school, and what they do in the different workshops.

During the tour, he was also able to greet a good number of the employees and students.
