The Governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has asserted that Nigeria was in troubled times due to a dwindling economy occasioned by various factors, including worsening insecurity across the country.
The governor made this assertion yesterday at the funeral service of Mrs. Comfort Nwagimeje which was held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Agbor, while urging Nigerians to pray that God should change the situation.
According to him, many people were hungry and could no longer feed themselves because they can’t farm the way they used to due to growing insecurity.

‘Pray for our nation because we are in troubled times; the country is insecure and our state is not left out because whatever affects the country affects the states.
‘We are in troubled times because many people are hungry and can’t feed themselves, but we have hope that God will take control and change things for the better.
‘Our economy has dwindled and insecurity is further worsening it; we can no longer farm as we used to but we are hopeful that God is able to turn things around for the nation,’ Okowa stressed.
Nigeria, in recent times, has been faced with multi-faceted problems which analysts believe was a threat to its continued existence as a strong entity.
