The Bishop of the Diocese of Abuja and Archbishop Metropolitan/Primate of All Nigeria Anglican Communion, Dr. Henry Ndukuba, has urged Nigerians not to despair in the face of worsening economic hardship, insecurity, poverty and hunger, expressing confidence that better days are ahead for the country.
Speaking at the opening of the first session of the 13th Synod of the Diocese of Abuja, held at Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) in Abuja, on Thursday evening, Ndukuba called on Christians to remain steadfast in faith and become instruments of hope and service to society.
The cleric said the prevailing situation in the country required the Church and believers to rise beyond prayers and actively touch lives through compassion, peace and service.
