DIMAPUR — Advisor for Transport and Technical Education, Temjenmenba, on August 23 inaugurated the newly constructed community building at Chungliyimsen village under 29 Jangpetkong Assembly Constituency, Mokokchung, in the presence of the Chungliyimsen citizens and a host of NDPP party leaders.
The new building, christened ‘Odangba Memorial Ki, will serve as office-cum-guest house and was constructed with funds from the LADP.
“Today is a day of deep significance, not only for me and my family, but for the entire Chungliyimsen community and all who cherish the history of our faith. We stand here to dedicate the Odangba Memorial—a lasting tribute to Late Odangba, the first Pastor of Chungliyimsen Baptist Church (1903-1905), who also happens to be my great grandfather,” said Temjenmenba.
The advisor said late Odangba as a simple man who had unwavering faith and stood steadfast as a shepherd to the people, leading with humility, compassion and conviction.

He asserted that the memorial hall is not merely a structure of stone and brick, but a symbol of Pastor Ondangba’s enduring legacy, reminding the people of his sacrifices, vision and his obedience to God’s calling.
“As his great grandson, this moment fills me with immense pride and humility. To be able to honour his name, to see his legacy preserved for posterity, and to share in this sacred remembrance with all of you is a blessing I hold close to my heart,” he added.
Earlier, the pastor of NCRC, Chungliyimsen, invoked God’s blessings, while Chungliyimsen VC Chairman, N Yanger Imchen delivered the welcome address. The Watsu Telen Chungliyimsen also presented a special song on the occasion.
