Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has called for a stronger partnership between the state government and Christian leaders to promote moral renewal, tackle insecurity, and drive sustainable development.
Speaking at the 2026 Church Shift and Holy Spirit Conference held at the International Convention Centre, Awka, Governor Soludo said while government can enforce laws, only the church can help transform the hearts and values of the people.
He explained that his administration’s Public-Private-Community Partnership (PPCP) model is built on collaboration among government, the private sector, communities, and faith-based institutions, stressing that lasting development requires all stakeholders to work together.
The governor also expressed concern over the declining moral standards in society and urged religious leaders to champion responsible Christianity by promoting integrity, selflessness, and sound values.
In his remarks, the convener of the conference, Bishop David Ogbueli, underscored the vital role of the church in nation-building, urging Christians to uphold the teachings of Christ through love for God and service to humanity.
