The Imo State chapter of the Christian Association 

of Nigeria (CAN) has decried the falling standard of 

education in Nigeria.

The association also said it was not happy with the 

security situation in the country and the rot in the 

health sector, which has resulted in Nigeria’s 

failure to produce a cure for COVID-19.

In a statement yesterday to commemorate this year’s 

Democracy Day, the State Chairman, Dr. Eches Divine, 

urged President Muhammadu Buhari to holistically 

address the problems bedeviling the education, 

security and health sectors of the economy, noting 

that the country would begin to make giant strides 

when that is done.

“We call for the equipping of laboratory facilities 

and funding for research by Nigerian scientists.
Government needs to give attention to the immediate 

equipping of all the citadels of learning throughout 

Nigeria,” Divine said.


He added: “We ought to provide the solution that 

Madagascar has offered as a result of the COVID-19 

situation. Nigeria not Madagascar ought to be in the 

forefront of providing a cure for coronavirus, which 

would have been a source of revenue for the nation.

“Truth be told, we pray that there will be an urgent 

turn around, because every serious minded nation 

makes huge budgetary provisions for education, which 

will in turn usher development. No doubt, the 

greatest disease is ignorance. We must provide 

quality education, quality teachers and lecturers, 

equipping of our laboratories and educational 

institutions with modern gadgets, and not the 

obsolete or moribund type as presently obtainable.”

On the health sector, the association said COVID-19 

pandemic has taught the country a lesson since 

nobody was going anywhere for any medical jamboree 

or tourism.

“It has taught us a lesson that we should change as 

a nation. We call for the equipping of our 

healthcare institutions fast. We need world-class 

facilities as well as the retraining of our health 

workers. As front line workers, there must be 

general health insurance for our health workers so 

that while they are on the front line working, they 

are assured that if for any reason something 

happens, their families will be well catered for by 

the system.”
