George Akume secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) has  asked Nigerians to pray continuously amidst economic hardship and security challenges.

Akume urged Nigerians at the Catholic Bishops Conference in Abuja to unite and support one another amidst economic hardship. He also highlighted achievements under President Tinubu’s administration, including measures to mitigate fuel subsidy removal. Akume emphasized the significance of hosting the meeting during Lent, encouraging reflection and charity during challenging times. “We are working to reverse as mentioned above while bold economic reforms have been undertaken by this administration, resulting in short-term hardships, they are borne out of a deep-seated commitment to Nigeria’s long- term prosperity and stability.

“This administration inherited a daunting economic landscape, necessitating decisive action to alter our nation’s downward trajectory. “With unwavering dedication, we are striving towards a prosperous, healthy, and globally competitive Nigeria. Given the critical situation, now more than ever before, we must remain steadfast, renewing our faith in God’s provision and protection.

“Amidst adversity, we must remain resolute, renewing our faith in God’s providence and walking in love as we support one another.

“Although the economic hardship and security challenges may seem daunting, let us continue to encourage one another in the Lord and pray without ceasing.” The SGF added that the Tinubu administration is steadfast in its resolve to enhance security, boost the economy, and create opportunities for all citizens.
