Bishop of Abuja and Primate of
all Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, has urged the Buhari
led Federal Government to solve the issue of shortage supply of electricity and
inadequate health facilities in the country.
Okoh made this appeal on Monday
during the Christmas Service at the Cathedral Church of Advent Life camp,
Abuja.
The cleric believes tackling
electricity and health in the nation would go a long way beyond 2018 to make
the common man happy as they go about with their daily activities.
“Whatever the government can do
to tackle the issue of electricity and medical is good news to the poor. In
this Church alone, we have lost somebody to cancer.
“There is hardly any quarter that
somebody does not die and that is after a huge amount of money has been spent
in India. What lesson are we waiting for? We lost president Yar’adua; only God
intervened in the case of President Muhammadu Buhari. Is this not enough
lessons for us?
“Why can’t we have a kind of task
force to train our manpower and bring the facilities here in Nigeria so that
not only senior people can get cured or treatment but that ordinary people too
will have access to it?
“Health and education facilities
need attention. If we have them, it will be good news to the poor,” said Okoh.
U can always tell those clergymen whose hearts are sincere with their calling. May the Good Lord preserve you Rev.
