The National Patron, Religious Affairs of Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN), Dr Emmanuel Simon, has urged religious leaders across Nigeria to help calm public frustration over the economic hardship caused by the Federal Government’s reforms.
Simon said religious leaders should use their platforms to encourage hope, unity and responsible citizenship rather than deepen despair over the rising cost of living.
He acknowledged that policies, including the removal of fuel subsidy and exchange-rate reforms, had brought hardship to Nigerians but maintained that the measures were part of efforts to rebuild the economy.
Speaking in his capacity as National Patron, Religious Affairs, Simon directed members of the organisation and religious leaders across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory to promote peace and national responsibility.
He urged Nigerians to remain patient and hopeful, saying the current difficulties should not undermine their confidence in the country.
According to him, the country’s rebuilding process requires the collective support of citizens, including religious communities.
Simon said, “We must remain hopeful, prayerful and united as a people.”
He called on religious leaders to help their congregations navigate the difficult period without resorting to actions capable of threatening national peace.
