From Nigeria-
The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has said Nigeria’s quest for technological advancement will remain a mirage until technical education is given its pride of place.
The position of the church was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the third session of its seventh synod in Abuja on Sunday.
The communiqué, which was signed by the Primate of the church, Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, and two others, made a case for better attention to be paid to technical education.
It reads in part, “Synod believes that no nation can achieve technological prowess unless technical education is accorded its rightful place.
“Consequently, efforts should be made to ensure that technical education in Nigeria is adequately funded and equipped, while the products of those institutions are properly placed and adequately remunerated.”
The church also lampooned attempts by Anglican parishes in the West counterparts to accord legitimacy to gay marriages.
It denounced homosexual and lesbian lifestyles, describing it as “unbiblical, unnatural, ungodly” and a part of humanity’s continuing rebellion against God.
The church also charged government at all levels to make genuine efforts to provide employment opportunities for Nigeria’s teeming youths, to avoid a total break down of law and order.
