The work in Nigeria began in 1901 with the Banfields as missionaries. In 1978 the United Missionary Society formally turned the work over to the United Missionary Church of Africa. However, a number of missionaries continued and worked under the UMCA organized first as the Fellowship of Invited Missionaries and then as World Partners Nigeria.

The mission began with the work of Ebenezer Anthony and A. W. Banfield at Patigi, Nigeria in 1901 and continued under the denomination until 1978 when the responsibility for the work and its physical assets were assumed by the United Missionary Church of Africa.
