The Calabar Nigeria Temple was announced in October 2023 by President Russell M. Nelson. The country has one operating temple in Aba, but this location joins 5 others that are announced or under construction in Nigeria. Plans call for a 26,000 square foot, single-story building, with patron housing, arrival facilities, and a meetinghouse on site. The temple is currently in the planning and approval phase. A groundbreaking date has not yet been announced.
