President Goodluck Jonathan has assured victims of the
dreaded sect, Boko Haram, that a committee will soon be put in place to work on
how they will be compensated.
This is just as he attributed the
survival of the country to the church’s prayers and belief in the unity
of the nation.
The president made the remarks on
Sunday during the opening ceremony of Jubilee Word Festival 2013 of the Word of
Life Bible Church at the Word of Life International Gospel Centre, Ajamimorha,
Warri, Delta State.
According to the Presiding Pastor of
the ministry, Papa Ayo Oritsejafor, who took his sermon from I Samuel 13:8,
November, which is significant to his family, ministry and church, symbolizes
hope, adding that something positively great can still happen in the lives of
individuals and the nation.
The President of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN), who commended President Jonathan for the proposed
national conference, bemoaned the level of corruption in the country,
unpaid pensions and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike,
among others, and urged the president to find a lasting solution to them.
He also requested the president to
clear the air on conflicting reports in the national dailies on the issue of
compensation for the victims of Boko Haram.
Jonathan, while responding, said
although the Federal Government would not want to create a wrong impression, a
committee would be set up to provide a blueprint on how victims of Boko Haram
could be compensated, saying there was no way government could actually cushion
the plights of the victims.
Jonathan, who asked for support from
all Nigerians to bring to fruition his Transformation Agenda, described
Oritsejafor as a strong president of CAN who has successfully spent 26 years in
the ministry.
He said his prayers had been a pillar
of strength to the nation, saying that Nigeria is making steady progress.
At the event were governors of Delta
State, Cross River State and Plateau State, Governors Emmanuel Uduaghan, Liyel
Imoke and Jonah Jang, members of national and state assemblies, royal fathers
and clerics from other religious denominations.
