Francis Waive: Celebrating 60 Years of Impact

Join us in celebrating the life and achievements of Francis Waive on his 60th birthday, honouring his impact in faith and service.

On Sunday, 24th May 2026, we come together with joy to celebrate the 60th birthday of Rt. Hon. (Revd.) Francis Ejiroghene Waive, a man known for his faith, vision, and service.

Hon. Francis Waive was born on May 21, 1966. He started his life in Lagos and built a successful career in banking, making a positive impact over many years.

He has always shown excellence and integrity. However, his calling to ministry in 1997 truly shaped his journey when he founded the Church of the Anointing. Since then, his preaching, radio ministry, mentorship, and kindness have changed many lives, including mine.

Outside his church work, he founded the Riverine Communities Health & Development Organisation. This Organisation brought hope and healthcare to communities in the Niger Delta that needed it most. His dedication to social justice and empowerment has always been strong.

In politics, Rt. Hon. Francis Waive has shown true servant leadership. He was first elected to represent Ughelli North, Ughelli South, and Udu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives. He was re-elected for a second term and is now re-contesting for a third term.

During his time in office, he has supported causes that help his people and our country. Now, as Chairman of the Committee on Rules and Business, he continues to guide legislative work with wisdom and fairness.

At home, he is a caring husband to Rev. (Mrs.) Rita Waive and a devoted father to their five children. The values of faith, discipline, and service that guide his public life are also seen in his family.

As he turns 60 on 21st May, we are not just celebrating another birthday. We are looking back on decades of faithful ministry, strong leadership, and selfless service.

Rt. Hon. Francis Waive is a clear example of how one dedicated life can inspire many others.

However, my family and I say: Happy 60th Birthday to you, Rt. Hon. (Revd.) Francis Ejiroghene Waive. And may your years ahead be filled with greater strength, deeper wisdom, and continued impact. May God bless you as you step into this new chapter of life.

Congratulations, Sir, and happy Diamond Jubilee in advance!
