Extend Devt to feeder roads, Anglican Church urges Oshiomhole

BENIN CITY – Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has been called upon to extend his giant strides in construction of roads and drainages to feeder roads in the state.


This was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the 2nd session of the 17th Synod of the Diocese of Benin, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, which took place in Benin City, recently.


The communiqué which was signed by the Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Peter Imasuen (MFR) and the Chancellor of the Diocese, Justice S.O. Uwaifo (Rtd), appreciated the Edo State government for the giant stride in construction of roads and drainages.

The synod also encouraged the governor to extend government gesture to other areas such as agriculture and electrification in addition to creating enabling environment for the private sector to provide employment.

The communiqué condemned the pervasive and destructive corruption in governance in the country, and in the church.

It therefore called on spiritual leaders to speak and act against it, just as it appealed to government to enhance strategies for more effective inculcation of spiritual and moral values in children.

The synod emphasized the need for effective disciples and teachers that are willing to suffer for Christ, adding that Christians must be prepared to suffer for the gospel and endure the shame of the cross.
