The Christian Association of Nigeria’s leadership calls on the Federal Government to promptly address the economic challenges in the country.
President Daniel Okoh conveyed this message on Ash Wednesday, marking the start of the Lenten season, emphasizing the need for leaders to prioritize the well-being of the most vulnerable citizens.
He also urged Christians to extend helping hands to those in need while also supporting the leaders in alleviating the sufferings of fellow citizens.
The message read in part, “As we embark on this Lenten journey, our hearts are drawn to the plight of many who struggle to make ends meet, facing financial uncertainty and limited access to basic needs.
“We long for a Nigeria where every individual is afforded the opportunity to thrive and where our leaders prioritise the well-being of the most vulnerable in our society.
“I urge our leaders at all levels of governance to recognise the urgency of the economic challenges facing our nation and to take concrete action to provide support for individuals facing economic hardship.
“Let us come together in solidarity and commitment to create a more inclusive and compassionate society where the burdens of the marginalised are alleviated, and their voices are heard.”
Okoh urged Christians to think of ways that they can contribute to the well-being of others.
“It is a period for us to extend a helping hand to those in need and advocate for continuing support from our leaders in alleviating the burdens of our fellow citizens,” he added.
