Catholic Bishops urge Nigeria to prioritize Common Good in governance
Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria calls for leadership based on probity, competence and commitment to serve the Common Good. They argue that Nigeria's problems stem from poor leadership and a misguided view of politics focused on election rigging and theft. The Bishops emphasize that the Common Good requires peace, security, economic development and proper resource management. They specifically recommend drone technology and AI to combat illegal mining and banditry, while demanding subsidies for farmers to boost food production. The Bishops also highlight persistent insecurity causing mass killings and displacement, linking it to government failure to deliver basic welfare. They conclude that better governance is possible if Nigerians demand leaders who prioritize the Common Good over self-interest.
