The President of the United Church of Christ in Nigeria, Rev. Dr. Amos G. Kiri, has called on the Kaduna State government to prioritize food security and better governance.
In his farewell presidential address at the church’s 60th Annual National Convention, Rev. Dr. Kiri praised the Kaduna State government for its infrastructure development but emphasized the need for increased efforts to address the critical issue of food security.
Talking about the nation’s condition, Rev. Dr. Kiri urged the government to resolve security concerns and focus on the well-being of the people.
He also underscored the importance of civic responsibility, encouraging members to participate actively in democracy and hold leaders accountable.
Rev. Dr. Kiri reviewed the church’s achievements over the past decade, including launching new schools and clinics, and expanding its international outreach.
The HEKAN President’s speech was delivered at the church’s 60th Annual National Convention, held in Kaduna from April 7-12, 2026, under the theme “We are One in Christ” (Mu Daya ne Cikin Kristi).
Rev. Dr. Kiri’s term as president concludes later this year, and he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve.
The convention featured various speakers and activities, including a March Past by the District Church Council, led by Rev. Amos G. Kiri and other senior church officials.
