CAN urges faith, unity for Nigeria’s renewal in 2025

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Wednesday urged Nigerians to embrace faith and unity for the renewal of the country.

In his New Year message, the CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, reflected on the challenges faced in 2024, including economic difficulties and security concerns, while acknowledging God’s sustaining grace.

He urged Nigerians to return to God, saying peace and progress were achievable through divine guidance.

Okoh said: “Despite the many difficulties we faced in 2024, including economic challenges and insecurity, we have witnessed God’s grace sustaining us as a nation.

“His mercy has brought us this far, and we trust that He will continue to guide us through the trials ahead.

“As we look ahead to 2025, we urge all Nigerians to return to God and serve Him faithfully.”

The CAN president also appealed to leaders to prioritise transparency and compassion in governance while fostering inclusivity.

“We call on those in governance to lead with compassion, transparency, and accountability.

“Let decisions be made with the welfare of the people in mind, ensuring that no Nigerian is left behind in the pursuit of a prosperous nation,” he added.

Okoh expressed optimism that with collective faith and commitment, 2025 would be a transformative year for Nigeria.
