The Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (LCCN) has raised concern over growing socioeconomic challenges, particularly food insecurity and economic hardship, which continue to impact a large portion of Nigeria’s population.
These issues were among key topics discussed during the 2025 National Pastors’ Conference, held at the LCCN headquarters in Numan, Adamawa State, in Northeast Nigeria. The conference focused on improving human welfare and fostering social justice.
Speaking to the media, the Archbishop of LCCN, Most Rev. Dr. Musa Panti Filibus, emphasized that Nigerians should not be suffering to such an extent given the country’s abundant resources. He urged the Federal Government to fulfill its responsibility in alleviating the burden of its citizens and improving their quality of life.
The pastors at the conference underscored the urgent need for the government to support local farmers through subsidies and enhanced security, to boost agricultural productivity and tackle food insecurity.
In addition, the Church reaffirmed its commitment to combating gender-based violence, promising ongoing advocacy and pastoral counseling to address related social issues.
Amid current national challenges, the pastors resolved to continue their mission as ambassadors of Christ, preaching the gospel of peace and salvation. They also emphasized the role of pastors as catalysts for unity and peaceful coexistence across all denominations.
The conference reaffirmed the importance of prayer in pastoral ministry, rooted in biblical principles, and called for renewed focus on discipleship to address issues such as pride, selfishness, and immorality among clergy.
The resolutions concluded with a call to all LCCN members to remain steadfast in proclaiming the gospel, promoting unity, and living as true reflections of Christ for the glory of God.
