Catholic Bishops raise alarm over insecurity in Northern Nigeria

From: Godwin agia, Jalingo

The Catholic Bishops of Northern Nigeria have decried the insecurity in most parts of Northern Nigeria and called on relevant authorities to expedite actions to cut the trend before the region is thrown into total chaos and anarchy.
This was contained in a communique issued at the end of the inter-provincial meeting of the Catholic Bishops of Northern Nigeria in Kaduna.
They noted that the region is richly blessed with enormous potentials in agriculture and solid minerals but the waves of unchecked security challenges have left the region largely impoverished and grossly underdeveloped.
They raised alarm over the crashing of food prices without measures to check the prices of farm inputs, saying it could lead to more farmers abandoning their farms and ultimately worsening food shortages.
