Tinubu to Catholic bishops: ‘Nigeria must rise beyond bigotry’

President Bola Tinubu has called for national unity, emphasizing that Nigeria must rise above religious and ethnic divides to achieve sustainable development.

Speaking in Abuja on Friday during a meeting with the leadership of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), led by its president, Archbishop Lucius Ugorji, Tinubu addressed pressing national issues, including economic reforms, insecurity, and religious tolerance.

The president acknowledged the economic difficulties facing Nigerians, attributing them to ongoing reforms aimed at stabilizing the nation’s future. He particularly defended the removal of the fuel subsidy, a policy that has sparked widespread hardship but, according to him, was necessary for long-term growth.
