Saturday, January 4, 2025 - The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kano State chapter, has drawn attention to the economic difficulties Nigerians are facing, which stem from widespread corruption, self-serving leaders, and insecurity.
In his New Year message, the association’s secretary, Pastor Adeniyi,
pointed out that corruption is prevalent in nearly every government sector. He
stressed the importance of a united effort to tackle this problem.
He called on Nigerians to increase their prayers for their leaders,
asking God to inspire compassion in their hearts for those enduring tough
living conditions and to motivate them to take action to provide relief.
The Kano CAN Secretary urged the President, Vice President, ministers,
agency heads, legislators, governors, and other leaders to have reverence for
God and show genuine concern for the struggles of Nigerians by reassessing
policies, cutting costs, offering subsidies, and enhancing security to support
agriculture and reduce food prices.
He encouraged current leaders to follow the example of past figures like
Malam Aminu Kano, Awolowo, and Sardauna, who are remembered fondly for their
positive contributions long after their passing.
Regarding the support provided by the Kano State government for
Christian celebrations, Pastor Adeniyi mentioned that the state government
contributed 50 bags of rice (25 kg each) and ₦1.8 million, while the federal government supplied
1,200 bags of rice.
He urged the Kano State government to ensure that all support for
Christians is funneled through the association for distribution, to prevent any
divisions among members.
Pastor Adeniyi also encouraged everyone to express gratitude to God for
entering the New Year in good health, while also praying for those who have
passed and seeking solutions to Nigeria’s pressing issues, especially economic
hardship and insecurity.
