Daniel Anjorin, has expressed deep concern over the worsening security and economic conditions in the country, and called on government at all levels to take urgent steps, decisive and sustained actions to address the challenges and restore hope among citizens.
He made the call while fielding questions from journalists as he rounded off his three days pastoral visit to the Lagos Township Superintendency of the Church in Surulere.
While emphasizing that safety, welfare and well-being of Nigerians must remain a top priority, particularly as the country approaches another election circle, the cleric said government at all levels cannot afford to neglect the plight of the people, rather, should take greater responsibility.
He specifically called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently address the deteriorating security situation, rising fuel costs and inadequate electricity supply in particular, stressing the need for policies that will directly improve the welfare of Nigerians.
