The Christian Association of Nigeria on Sunday condemned the economic policies of President Muhamadu Buhari, including the ban on foreign goods and devaluation of the currency, saying they appear to lack human face.

The ban on foreign goods by the Federal Government, CAN said, would lead to smuggling and huge revenue loses, adding that the devaluation of the currency, “led to galloping inflation to the extent that the cost of living has risen and makes life unbearable for people.”

The President of CAN, Dr. Samson Ayokunle, was quoted as saying this in a statement by his Special Assistant (Media and Communications), Adebayo Oladeji, while delivering a sermon entitled ‘It is not beyond God’s control’ at the on-going International General Workers Conference and Ordination Interview of the Nigerian Baptist Convention in Abuja.

He said, “Fowls used to be a common gift to friends during Christmas celebration. During the just-ended celebration, it hardly featured as Christmas gift item. Humanly speaking, things are tough for many. Businesses that are foreign-currency dependent are closing down and people are loosing their jobs.

“This economic policy appears to lack human face. What is the essence of banning foreign goods when the government has not been able to make such goods locally available in abundance? Such ban would just encourage smuggling and a lot of revenue would be lost by the government.

“The inability of the government to pay salaries not only in the States, but at Federal level as well, is a bid dent on the government. My Bible says that the worker deserves prompt payment of his or her wages. Of course, the Bible says that the wages must not be delayed till the next day.

“This delay in the payment of salaries has in turn affected the operations of many private organisations including the church. Our economy is public-sector driven. So, to a large extent, whatever is the economic policy of government has excruciating challenge over all other sectors.”

Ayokunle also condemned the inability of the government to create jobs for youths, warning that the earlier the government did something about it, the better for everybody.

He said, “University graduates are roaming the streets without anything to do. Those who are working have too many mouths of the unemployed adults to feed. This has increased the level of poverty in our nation and job creation remains a big challenge the government must pay serious attention to. The increasing wave of kidnapping may not be unconnected with the lack of tangible employment for many of our able bodied youths.

“Kidnapping used to be rampant in the East but has almost become a lucrative business now in the West and North. It is a very bad experience that Nigerians do not deserve to be passing through. A special squad if possible should be trained with necessary surveillance equipment to fish out these criminals who are in the business of kidnapping for ransom. If the government claims that they are doing something, they must do more,”

While condemning the refusal of the Federal Government to stop “the biting killings and destruction of farms by the Fulani herdsmen” and the Southern Kaduna massacre of Christians, Ayokunle described the response from the law enforcement agents as “so lethargic that CAN had to call for national day of mourning and prayer to seek God’s face so that the destruction might stop.”

“No one that died untimely in that unchecked mayhem deserved to die. The killings of the Agatus and other citizens in Benue State under the watch of both State and Federal Governments were unfortunate and should be stopped immediately”, he stressed.

Common guys the dollar hike was intentional by the present government, in other to drive export and discourage import we import virtually everything

so true, that's why baba dashed bachir small 300million to clear grass, spends 1.75billion on personal feeding, uses the same fleet of personal jets he condemned, refused to declare his assets and his wife without a clear source of income now using multimillion naira accessories, the 2016 budget was so heavily padded that it had to be smuggled in at night, president Jonathan is to be blamed for all the economic malaise affecting this country because buhari can do no evil.

Says an organisation that her leader was bootlegging stolen cash for Jonathan using a private aircraft donated by the same corrupt president.

How about you hypocrites start re-distributing the dubious tithes you force out of believers to the poorest of your congregation, in order to ease their economic burden?

Maybe then they will really see God's face amidst all the the hardship.

No more free money. Simples.

Tell your members(CAN) that rather than build 100M churches, they should build factories and employ their members.

I have a strong feeling that something is not just right with your thinking faculties. It's either you're programmed to act like a robot or simply lacks commonsense.

Can you tell Nairalanders the deference between a govt that "shared money", yet the masses could afford to buy beans, rice, kerosene etc at ease and the one that "fights corruption" and "plugs leakages" but brings untold hardship on the citizenry.

No amount of your propaganda can wash Buhari from his spots of bigotry, selective justice, deceit, cruelty and tribalism. All his past and present evils would continue to trail his steps now and in the future. Buhari is simply evil.

And govts, businessmen and firms will be doing what? Not forgetting the hundreds of factories built by various moslem bodies across the country.

Who's even talking about food during GEJ. You'd be lucky you if you come out with some life intact.

Definitely. Remember images of Nigeria's territories being taken, and our soldiers running, or the technical withdrawals to Cameroon. Mercenaries were being employed when NA were being undermined.
