Church Decries Poor State Of Economy
The Diocese of Port Harcourt of the Methodist Church Nigeria has expressed concern over the declining state of the Nigeria’s economy and the high rate of inflation in the country.
The diocese said this in a communique issued at the end of its 41st Synod held at 41 Egede Street, Port Harcourt.
The diocese also condemned the rate of corruption, indiscipline and criminality in the country, particularly the rampant kidnapping and banditry across the nation as well as the recent shooting and bombing of the Kaduna train.
The communiqué, which was jointly signed by the Archbishop/Bishop of the Diocese,Most Rev. Emmanuel Udofia, and the Synod Secretary,Very Rev. Emeka Haniel, also decried the practice of increased borrowing to fund ghost or non-existent projects in the nation at a time the general election was at the corner, and urged Christians to be prayerful during the forthcoming elections.
The church also urged members and the entire Christian community to be security conscious, while the government should step up effort to check insecurity in the country.
It described the ongoing ASUU strike as a very painful experience to parents and their wards in the universities, and urged both the Federal Government and the striking lecturers to reconsider their stands in the interest of the nation.
The synod also commended the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike for his giant infrastructure development, which has made the state the pride of the South-South region, and urged other governors to emulate it.
The church further called on the Federal Government to expedite action to protect Nigerian citizens in Russia and Ukraine in the midst of the ongoing war.
