Speaking at a prayer service organised by the body to mark Nigeria’s 64th Independence at the First Baptist Church Minna, Chairman Bulus Yohanna, who is also the Catholic Bishop of Kontagora Diocese, said the President should do all he can to stabilize the economy.

The Bishop said: “Nigerians are praying and need nothing short of positive results.” Represented by his deputy, Rev. Ezekiel Ibrahim, the chairman said the country is going through a difficult time.

He said: “Even though enormous, I believe the challenges are surmountable, and by the grace of God there will be light at the end of the tunnel.” Yohanna urged residents to deepen their prayers for the peace and prosperity of the state and nation at large to overcome the challenges He said:

“A child born 64 years ago and is still struggling on how to handle challenges obviously needs sustained prayers. “Nigeria needs our prayers to sustain our peace and stability.”
