The Bishop of Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Owo Diocese, STEPHEN FAGBEMI, has called on President BOLA TINUBU, to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians by finding solutions to the ongoing economic and security challenges facing the country.

The cleric who decried the rise in inflation in the country, also said Nigeria has become a harder place to live as he urged President TINUBU to quickly address all of the factors that have triggered the current economic hardship being experienced by Nigerians.

He stated this in his charge delivered during the third session of the 14th Synod of the Church held at St Stephen’s Church in Owo Local Government of Ondo State.

According to him, the effects of the current economic hardship in the country were real and painful. 

He stressed that unless urgent and effective steps were taken to curtail the effects of the current economic situation in the country, Nigeria might witness an uncontrollable rise in crime.

Bishop FAGBEMI also urged the Federal Government to step up its commitment towards addressing adequately, the growing hunger in the land through the provision of incentives, and employment and embark on policies that ameliorate the plight of the people.
