The Archbishop of Ondo Ecclesiastical and Bishop of Akure Anglican Diocese, Most Revd Simeon Borokini, weekend lamented that Nigerians are now subjected to untold hardship.
— Things are becoming tougher
According to him” the agricultural sector has been the most impacted by the economic downturn and security situation. “The economy is not in good shape, and the cost of living is increasing by the day. Things are becoming tougher, and we don’t pray they continue this way.“We call on the government as a matter of urgency to re-evaluate and review its economic policies in order to diversify and revamp the ailing economy with a view to mitigating the adverse effect of subsidy removal on petroleum products on the people.
“I think the government needs to do something about this. If the government can do something about security, I think our farmers will be safe to go to their farms to cultivate. “They should intensify security so that our farmers and able young men who are interested in farming can be allowed to go to their farm, so that they will be secured.“What we are doing is continuing to pray for him to improve. Maybe after two years, I’ll be able to pass judgement, but for now, I can’t.
