The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria has advised the federal government to implement the reports and recommendations of the 2014 confab conference.
This, it said, will address the growing demands for restructuring of the nation.
This was the main take-away at the 22nd General Assembly of the church in Lagos recently.
The communiquรฉ signed by the newly elected Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church, Rev. Nzie Nsi Eke and Principal Clerk, Rev. Eseme William said implementation of the confabโs recommendations will address the imbalance and lopsideness in the nation.
On the menace of Fulani herdsmen, the Church called on the government to encourage the development of cattle ranches in areas that have such natrual comparative advantages.
It kicked against the proposed cattle reserves in any part of the nation.
The church suggested the meat industry should be developed in a way that cows are slaughtered in the areas of cattle production and meat (not live meat animals) are transported to markets in refrigerated (cold) storage facilities.
This, it said, โwill eliminate the nomadic nature of cattle rearing in Nigeria and thus end the frequent friction between Fulani herdsmen and farming communities.โ
The church hailed the federal governmentโs efforts in the war against Boko Haram and restoration of peace in the North East.
It also applauded governmentโs resolve to clean up Ogoni land and other parts of Niger Delta affected by many years of neglect in the oil exploration industry.
On the anti-corruption war, the Church commended the Government but cautioned that the exercise should not be partial or selective but holistic.
