Former minister of information Prof. Jerry Gana has called on parents to instruct their children using biblical principles to bring about national transformation.
The ex-minister spoke at the grand finale of the 2024 Champion of Champions National Bible Quiz Competition on Wednesday in Abuja organised by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in collaboration with Voice of Evangelism International (VOEI).
Gana said that understanding and living by biblical principles was key to overcoming challenges, including poverty, and achieving success in various aspects of life.
He said that there is transformative power in the Word of God and urged Nigerians to prioritise Bible study.
The former minister lauded the event’s sponsor, Archbishop Emeka Agwu, for his commitment at fostering biblical knowledge among youth.
Citing Joshua 1:8, he underscored the importance of meditating on and living by the Scriptures, character, integrity, and the moral foundation necessary for good governance and societal prosperity.
Gana called on parents to instill biblical values in their children, warning that neglecting this responsibility leads to moral decay.
He urged Nigerians to pray for wise and capable leaders, as effective leadership was key to national transformation and prosperity.
The sponsor of the quiz, and general overseer of VOEI, Archbishop Agwu, urged Christians to make Bible study a central aspect of their lives.
Agwu emphasised that diligent engagement with the Word of God was essential, especially in these critical times.
