‘UN Should Help Fight Poverty’ – Rev Hezekiah

United Nations are to focus on issues that will help get rid of poverty across the world, a clergyman advised, Rev. Daddy Hezekiah.

The founder of Living Christ Mission Inc, Rev Daddy Hezekiah was speaking during his 50th thanksgiving anniversary in Abuja.

In his address at the International Conference Centre (ICC) venue of the event, Hezekiah advised leaders to realize that their positions are given to them by God.

He said, “I advise the United Nations not to waste time deliberating on trivial issues such as same-sex marriage but pay more attention to issues that will alleviate poverty, find the cure for diseases like AIDS, cancer, Hepatitis B, etc., especially in underdeveloped countries of the world.”

He advised the Federal Government to look into issues that militate against the economic and social development of the country such as the deplorable condition of the roads, unemployment, poor health facilities especially in government hospitals, corruption, and privatization of public parastatals, inherent poverty and the high cost of education.

He said, “I appeal to the Federal Government to reconsider its ban on imported goods and food like rice. I also advise the government to consider the use of dialogue and peaceful process in the settlement of disputes.”
