President Bola Tinubu should take deliberate steps to unite Nigerians, improve infrastructure across the country, and strengthen the fight against corruption, the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja Diocese, Ignatius Kaigama, said on Sunday.
He said, “While I was abroad, I had no experience of failure of electricity; no water shortage; I saw good roads which lead to small settlements. I could leave for the airport at 2 am or 4 am with no slightest fear of being attacked by bandits or terrorists.
“Nigeria is unable to construct excellent hospitals and schools, and our leaders with the means are often seen patronizing these institutions abroad where things are working normally, instead of replicating the same facilities at home.” While expressing his hope that the new government would put an end to borrowing large sums of money without using them productively, he called on the new government to improve the nation’s infrastructure and reduce corruption-related issues.
The cleric said, “We call on our leaders to restore security, break the network of corruption, and reduce the high cost of governance. We hope that there will be an end henceforth to borrowing huge sums of money and not putting them to productive use.” Nevertheless, Kaigama urged Nigerians to grow in love one another and work together to build a better future for the country.All rights reserved.
