The charge was contained in a communiqué issued, yesterday, and co-signed at the end of their bishops’ second meeting by Chairman and Secretary of the Province, Most Rev. Leke Abegunrin and Most Rev. John Oyejola respectively, which was held at the Domus Pacis Pastoral Institute, Igoba, Akure, Ondo State, on Tuesday and entitled: “Groaning in Prayer and Action: Hope Shall Not Die in Nigeria.”

The Forum called on the organisers to enter into a constructive dialogue with the federal and state governments rather than embarking on any action that could unsettle the nation. “We shall be glad to have the contact details of the Deputy Inspectors- General of Police, Assistant Inspectors-General of Police, and the Commissioners of Police designated to cover the said public meetings, public rallies and public processions, to ensure a peaceful and crisis-free outing.”

Chairman of ThisDay/Arise Media Group, Nduka Obaigbena, has stressed the need for the media to connect with the youths in shaping media narratives, if they hope to remain in business. Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, yesterday, inaugurated Airport Upgrade Project Committee comprising of 11 members, to oversee the upgrade of the Ladoke Akintola Airport, Alakia Ibadan to an international standard.
