He commended the Bishop for coming to bless the congregation of the Government House Chapel and assured of his readiness to carry along the Churches, including the Catholic Church in his administration.

 

Rt. Hon. Nwifuru, however, warned the church against meddling into politics, insisting that the primary duty of the church is to preach salvation to mankind.

 

“I have always told people that I am not an ordinary person otherwise how can a former bricklayer, conductor and motorcycle mechanic become Governor of Ebonyi State within a space of 10 years?

 

“We are going to send 100 first-class and 2nd class (Upper) graduates to countries of their choice to further their education. When they come back they will teach in our schools. We will also send 300 persons to do their Master’s in any Nigerian higher institution of their choice.

“If the Catholic Church is ready to take back their schools, we are ready and not only Catholic Church, every other church whose schools were taken over by government,” the governor stated.
