The Anglican Diocese of Ahoada[1] is one of ten within the Anglican Province of the Niger Delta, itself one of 14 provinces within the Church of Nigeria.[2] The current bishop is Clement Ekpeye.[3]

The first church in the area, St. Paul's Niger Delta, was established at Ahoada in 1910. In 1925 a primary School was opened; and later a maternity home. In 1951 a vicarage was added. In 1952, a new Diocese Niger Delta was formed, with Diocese and Ahoada and its surroundings included within it. The Diocese of Ahoada was established in 2004 with St. Paul's becoming its Cathedral.[4]
