Bishop Martin Uzoukwu

The Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Minna‎, Most Rev. Martin Uzorukwu, has said that churches cannot accomplish their projects due to the nation’s current economic recession.

Uzorukwu said this in an interview in Minna on Sunday.

According to him, the economic recession is a challenge to everybody, including the church, because some churches have projects to accomplish but cannot do so because of the recession.

The cleric said the more the recession affected the church members, the more it affected the church.

“The recession is an issue every church in Nigeria is committing to God in prayer because the church needs money for the work of God and for charity.

“If patients go to hospitals, only to tell stories that they can’t pay hospital bills, the church writes it off for them,’’ he said.
