Most Rev Luicius Ugorji, Catholic Bishops President Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), has strongly criticized Nigeria’s perpetual borrowing of massive sums to fund the lavish lifestyles of public office holders. During a pastoral visit to St. Patrick\u2019s Catholic Parish, Okwu Uratta, Owerri North LGA, Ugorji expressed deep concern over what he deemed as anachronistic, unconscionable, wasteful, and anti-people financial practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Archbishop of Owerri Metropolitan Catholic Bishops President questioned the ongoing trend of borrowing substantial amounts to cater to the personal interests of public officials, particularly for the purchase of vehicles. He highlighted the disconnect between the removal of the fuel subsidy and the unimproved living conditions for Nigerians. Ugorji emphasized that, despite enduring nearly seven months of hardships following the subsidy removal, the citizens are yet to witness tangible improvements in public infrastructure such as roads, schools, and healthcare centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the lack of transparency, Ugorji sought answers regarding the savings resulting from the fuel subsidy removal, questioning whether the funds had been utilized for the overall public good. He painted a grim picture of Nigeria’s current state, citing hyperinflation, unreliable power supply, a troubled economic environment, corruption, insecurity, and a growing desire among the youth to seek better opportunities abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prelate also lamented the persistence of corruption, noting that even the electoral process remains tainted by corrupt practices. Ugorji criticized the apparent disregard for ethical conduct, pointing to instances where money influences decisions and electoral figures are manipulated. He raised concerns about tribalism, nepotism, and ethnocentrism, urging a change in attitude to address the deep-rooted issues plaguing the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on past leadership, Ugorji acknowledged the challenges faced during previous administrations and questioned whether the current situation is an improvement. He called for a shift in societal attitudes, emphasizing the need to combat corruption, indiscipline, armed robbery, kidnapping, wasteful expenditures, and the tragic loss of human lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the CBCN President’s strong statements reverberate, they draw attention to pressing issues in Nigeria’s governance and the urgent need for ethical reforms to ensure the well-being and prosperity of the nation’s citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
