ECWA urges FG to fix deplorable roads, tackle insecurity
The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) has urged the federal government to fix all deplorable roads and tackle insecurity in all parts of the country.
Job Ayuba, the president of ECWA, made the call at the closing of its 73rd General Church Council (GCC) on Friday in Jos.
Mr Ayuba, who decried the dilapidated state of major roads in Nigeria, called on the federal government and the security agencies to urgently fix them.
The president, however, thanked the federal government for the efforts so far towards addressing the infrastructure deficit in the country.
“We are calling on government to accord urgent priority to the comprehensive rehabilitation and sustained maintenance of critical road infrastructure nationwide.
“Such infrastructure should be deliberate, transparent and consistently implemented to ensure durability, public safety and measurable impact on the nation’s socio-economic development,” he advised.
The president expressed deep concern over the ongoing killings of innocent citizens and destruction of properties by criminals in all parts of the country.
“Recent killings and kidnappings of citizens of this nation are a situation that is reported across all parts of the country.
“While acknowledging previous statements of concern by the government, there is a need to move beyond lamentation towards a decisive, coordinated and measurable action,” he said.
Mr Ayuba advised the government to fulfil its constitutional responsibility by safeguarding the lives and property of citizens through sustained and effective security intervention.
He, however, urged Nigerians to be more vigilant and strengthened their security through collective efforts.
