Rev. Fr. Joseph Agbazi, the Parish Priest of Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Rayfield, Jos, Plateau State, has urged Nigerians to support local products as a means to bolster the strength of the naira.
In his Sunday sermon in Jos, Agbazi emphasized that the increasing reliance on foreign goods significantly contributes to the continual depreciation of the nation's currency.
Also, the priest encouraged Nigerians to prioritize the use of the naira for domestic transactions instead of resorting to dollars.
”Nigerians must let go of foreign products and buy local cars, clothes, shoes, building materials and other goods to grow our naira. We must also avoid the use of dollars or other foreign currency to do transactions within the country; let’s use the naira in all our dealings. That way, our local currency will appreciate and our economy will be better, ”he said.
The priest also called on politicians to do away with greed and utilise the nation’s God-given resources to provide the desired development to Nigerians.
Agbazi further called on the government to invest more in education, insisting that such a move would improve the quality of lives in the nation.
He stated, “Our political class must push greed away and give way for development. Let us make our education sector better in order to attract foreign teachers and students into country.’’
