As we struggle to respond to our many pastoral challenges, in our changing world, after 50 years of apostolate in Nigeria, we come to the painful realization that the greatest threat to human life in Nigeria is hunger, unemployment and poverty, among others. In fact, we have enormous problems in our days in Nigeria and the rest of the Africa, perhaps a crisis. The African soil that was once the cradle of human civilization is today ravaged by hunger, unemployment, energy crisis, rising waves of violence and crime, environmental pollution and disaster. Poverty reduction and job creation would therefore assume the major challenges to any Government, Institution, NGO, and Religious Organization that desires to be relevant in the continent at this time.
