Kalu Defends Catholic Bishops’ Critique, Says Tinubu Was Told the Reality of Nigeria’s Hardships.

Kalu Defends Catholic Bishops’ Critique, Says Tinubu Was Told the Reality of Nigeria’s Hardships. The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has repeatedly called on the Federal Government to intensify efforts to address economic instability, insecurity, poverty, and governance challenges. The bishops have urged policymakers to adopt people centred reforms that would cushion the impact of economic policies on ordinary Nigerians while restoring public confidence in government institutions. Kalu maintained that President Tinubu should continue engaging with religious leaders, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders whose perspectives reflect the experiences of Nigerians across different communities. As discussions continue, Kalu’s remarks add to the growing conversation on the role of religious institutions and public figures in holding government accountable while promoting constructive dialogue on Nigeria’s future.
