CATHOLIC BISHOPS CRITICIZE HIGH-LEVEL CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA.

Catholic Bishops yesterday lamented over the high-level corruption in Nigeria and asked the government to improve the economy and address poverty to stem its tide.

The Bishops also noted the mindless bloodletting and kidnapping in Imo State, which has had no peace in recent times.

President of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria CBCN, Most Rev. Lucuis Ugorji decried the high level of corruption in the country while delivering a sermon at a thanksgiving Mass, held at Maria Assumpta Cathedral, Owerri, in honor of the 2024-Armed Forces Remembrance Day and Governor Hope Uzodimma’s re-election.

On the Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration, Ugorji said there was a need to remember those who lost their lives in various wars and armed conflicts, stressing that they were fighting to preserve the lives of others.
