The Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Reverend Henry C. Ndukuba, has called for constant review of security strategies to address the revitalization and regrouping of insurgency in the country.
Addressing the Twelfth Synod of Abuja Diocese with the Theme “Serve The Lord”. The Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba said insurgency and banditry have continued to disrupt economic activities, agricultural and mining sectors, resulting in decreased productivity, loss of revenue, and increased poverty.
According to him, if the current trend is not checked, it will be difficult for farmers to engage in agricultural activities that will affect the nation.
He stressed the need for the government to expose the sponsors and suppliers of weapons and ammunition.
On the economy, Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba expressed concerns over the high cost of goods and services, emphasizing that the government’s palliatives are not reaching the downtrodden in society.
According to the Anglican Primate, the palliative distribution is characterized by corruption and nepotism.
He maintained that the current hyperinflation is biting hard on citizens and making lives more difficult for the people.
He therefore appealed to President Bola Tinubu to review the country’s trade policies in line with the current global realities.
Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba commended President Bola Tinubu’s procurement Policy, calling on Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies as well as stakeholders to fully comply, as it will create employment and reduce pressure on the foreign reserves.
Over Four Thousand delegates from nine archdeaconries of the Abuja Diocese are attending the synod held at Saint Phillips Anglican Church, GWARINPA Estate, Abuja.
