Christian leaders in Nigeria have called for improvement of the nation’s educational system as well as the upholding of family values.

They noted that a decline in sound education and family values are major setbacks in building sustainable national development.

The leaders urged government at all levels, religious bodies and individuals to join hands in the mission to rescue the nation’s educational system from collapse.

Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Odigbo Local Government, Pastor Wole Afolabi lamented that today’s leaders, families and individuals lack the knowledge and fear of God, hence the deterioration in the society.

He stated, “As a church, we would probably have remained mere critics, or keep praying until something happens. So as a leader we should cherish core family values and education.

“This is why we join all other well-meaning Nigerians to impress it on the government to lead the crusade for improvement in the education of our children and return to cherished values and virtues”.

Also speaking on insecurity in the country, he said government should be more focused, decisive and courageous in tackling insecurity in the land and particularly as it affects Christians.

He pleaded with government to do more in salvaging the educational sector. He also told churches to intervene in ensuring quality education towards a better nation.

Meanwhile, Rev. Fr. Stephen Akinnusoye enjoined Christians to pray more for the good of the state and nation.

“As Christians our importance to nation building cannot be overemphasised. Our religious leaders should engage in constructive criticism and pray for more for the state and Nigeria,” he said.
