Nigeria faces horror news everyday –Cleric

The Provost, Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) Theological Seminary, Igbaja, Kwara State, Rev. Dr. John Olu Adetoyese, yesterday, said Nigeria faces horror news on daily basis capable of inducing high blood pressure.

 

The Provost, who spoke at the 56th Graduation and Honorary Award Ceremony of ECWA Theological Seminary, decried the senseless killings in Southern Kaduna and the Northeast.

 

He noted that banditry, kidnappings and armed robberies in most parts of the country, coupling with the corruption in the country as well as the insensitivity of the government policies are at the alarming rate.

The Chairman, Governing Board of the Seminary, Elder Ayobola Samuel, said the convocation programmes had to be staggered, spanning over a week, because of the deadly coronavirus pandemic and the need to properly observe the Covid- 19 protocols.
