‘Evil will not have the final word’ – Catholic bishops tell Nigerians in Christmas message
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has urged Nigerians not to lose hope despite worsening economic hardship, insecurity and widespread displacement across the country.
In a Christmas message on Friday, Lucius Ugorji, president of the CBCN and archbishop of Owerri, said the birth of Jesus Christ remains a powerful reminder that God has not abandoned Nigeria, even amid deep national challenges.
He added that the Christmas season offers reassurance that “evil does not have the final word.”
