Abstract
Archbishop Joseph Abiodun Adetiloye from Odo-Owa in the present Ekiti State was the second Nigerian primate after the Most Rev. T.O. Olufosoye. His primacy captured the attention of the research because, his, could be said to have given or aroused the interest of the entire Anglicans in Nigeria of what having autonomous province means in terms of breakthroughs and treading where Angels could not. The purpose of the research was to appraise, assess or evaluate the administration, policies and achievements of the primate especially in areas of Evangelism and Mission in order to advise or guide the church and government aright in the business of administration. Other works before this appeared to be superfluous in chronicling the achievements without succinctly and critically analyzing to find out areas of weakness so as to help both the present and future leadership. Participant-observation methods were used as primary sources while the past scholarship, both published and unpublished events, text books were used for secondary sources. The literature review was exhaustively treated through conceptual, theoretical and empirical studies. The data were interpreted with historical and missiological approach of analysis. The Archbishop’s declaration of Decade of evangelism from 1989-1999 as the first black primate of the Anglican church to do so after the Lambeth conference of 1988, the penetration to the Northern part of the country in planting churches and making every state capital, a diocese giving cultural reflection to the liturgy and creation of internal provinces though without constitutional power etc. were the feat achieved and were all appraised. These highlights earned Nigerian Anglican church a global commendation. The appraisal also helped to discover that most of the appointments of the Archbishop Adetiloye were lopsided possibly due to tribal sentiments which brought about so many crises in his tenure. However, his managerial ability and financial sourcing and prudence got commendation. In all, his model of leadership was used to suggest to the church and government on ways of improvement in their leadership. The implication of the findings or contribution of the work therefore is for both the church leadership and government to look beyond the frontiers of their domain in making policies for posterity. In leadership, the people’s interests should be put above self so that lives would be given positive meaning both in the church and outside the church.
