The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) has called on the federal government to urgently repair deteriorating road networks and address widespread insecurity across Nigeria. Job Ayuba, ECWA president, made the appeal during the closing session of the church's 73rd General Church Council (GCC) on Friday in Jos. He described the condition of major roads as deplorable and urged comprehensive rehabilitation and consistent maintenance to ensure public safety and economic progress. Ayuba emphasized that infrastructure projects should be transparent and effectively implemented to deliver lasting results. While acknowledging government efforts to reduce infrastructure deficits, he stressed the need for more urgent and measurable action. He also condemned the ongoing killings and kidnappings occurring in various parts of the country, noting that such incidents are frequently reported nationwide. Ayuba urged security agencies to move beyond statements of concern to coordinated and effective interventions. He reminded the government of its constitutional duty to protect lives and property through sustained security measures. At the same time, he encouraged citizens to remain vigilant and contribute to community-based security initiatives.
Job Ayuba criticises road conditions and insecurity while praising federal efforts, creating a contradiction between condemnation and appreciation. Nigerians living near unrepaired roads and in areas affected by kidnappings face daily risks that neither statements of concern nor partial government actions have stopped. The call for citizen vigilance shifts part of the security burden onto people already suffering from state infrastructure failure. If constitutional duties are being fulfilled, the outcomes for Nigerians should not still depend on hope and self-help.
