The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu State, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has decried the rising fuel prices in Nigeria, while calling for urgent prayers to prevent a potential famine.

 

During the commissioning of a new filling station, Blessed Omemma Oil and Gas Limited, in Abakpa, Enugu East Local Government Area, Mbaka pointed out that the country is already facing hunger and if the situation is not addressed, it could lead to a famine crisis.

 

He urged the government to take immediate action to tackle the fuel price increase and emphasized the need for collective prayer to find a solution.

 

The cleric also advised Nigerians to invest rather than keeping their money in banks, pointing out the money will continue to depreciate.

 

“We need more prayers for Nigeria to be well, what we are facing now is hunger, but if we’re not careful, we could face famine.

 

“I encourage people to invest their money wisely; don’t leave it in the bank where it will keep devaluing,” Mbaka said.

 

He further remarked, “The government knows what they need to do about the fuel hike. One solution from them can overcome these toxic situations, and that’s why I emphasize the power of prayer.”
