The Diocese of the Niger, Anglican Communion, Anambra State, has expressed concern over the worsening economic hardship and insecurity in Nigeria, describing the situation as excruciating and unbearable for millions of citizens.
Delivering his Presidential Address on Sunday at the Second Session of the 33rd Synod of the Diocese at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Nkpor, the Diocesan, Rev. Owen Nwokolo, painted a grim picture of the suffering faced by Nigerians across the Country.
In the one-and-a-half-hour address, Nwokolo observed that the nation’s economic challenges had reached alarming proportions, leaving many families struggling to meet their basic needs.
“The Synod observes that economic hardship in Nigeria has become very unbearable in recent months. Families now struggle daily to afford food, rent, transportation and medical care.
“Mothers cry silently because they cannot feed their children, while many fathers endure humiliation searching endlessly for jobs that do not exist,” he stated.
