THE CATHOLIC BISHOP CONFERENCE OF NIGERIA HAS CENSURED THE NEGATIVE UTILIZATION OF THE WEB-BASED SOCIAL NETWORKING, PARTICULARLY AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE NATION.

This Bishops position is a piece of their determination contained in a report issued toward the finish of the one-week second whole session, held at the Charles Borromeo Pastoral Center, Jalingo.

The communique was signed by its President, Most Revd Ignatius Kaigama and Secretary, Rev. William Avenya.

According to the communique, rather than tap the great potential of the social media in expanding knowledge, many people, especially youths have been using it to spread falsehood, disseminate hate speeches and rumours.

“In these difficult times, we appeal to Nigerians to be circumspect and positive in the use of information obtained from and disseminated through the modern media.

“As a Church, we reaffirm our commitment to peace, unity and progress of Nigeria and the integral development of its citizens,” it said.

The Bishops called on all state governments to return to the old tradition of collaborating with the Church in the provision of high-quality education for all citizens.

They appealed to the Federal Government to honour all legal agreements with striking unions to arrest the damage that was already being done to the society.

The conference, therefore, urged Nigerians to pray and act correctly to attract God’s blessings for a better nation.

“We shall reconsecrate Nigeria to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and entrust Nigeria to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
"We expect to do this amid our festival of the National Mariam year planned to occur in Benin City by October.

"We will request that our Blessed Mother mediate for our sake to balance out the Nigerian ship of express," the report said.
