Pastor Kayode Pitan has been appointed as the new pastor of the City of David Parish, Lagos of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
He succeeds Pastor Charles Kpandei, who has been serving as the interim pastor since the suspension of Pastor Idowu Iluyomade in June.
A top source in the RCCG revealed that the decision was said to have taken by the governing council of the church during the just-concluded RCCG’s annual convention.
Prior to his new role, Pitan was the Pastor in Charge of the Tabernacle of David in Region 51 and also served as the Regional Pastor.
With his appointment, Pitan now oversees Region 20, with the City of David serving as its headquarters.
Pastor Ben Akabueze will step in as the Assistant Pastor in Charge of Region 20.
Kpandei, who was temporarily assigned to RCCG City of David, has returned to his previous role as Pastor in Charge of Region 11 in Lekki.
Pastor Pitan’s appointment officially marks the end of Iluyomade’s tenure at the City of David parish.
The new City of David parish pastor is a corporate guru. He completed his graduate studies in the US and returned to Nigeria 37 years ago, making significant strides in banking and finance. He worked at Citi Bank before resigning to establish his own finance house, which collapsed in 1993, resulting in a $3 million loss.
He served as the Managing Director and CEO of the Bank of Industry (BoI) from July 2015. He led the bank for five years and began a second term in 2022 and resigned in 2023 following a reshuffle at the bank under President Bola Tinubu.
