Imo State governor
Rochas Okorocha, on Thursday called for the creation of the Ministry of Peace
and Religious Affairs by the Federal Government to address the immediate needs
of the people.
Okorocha, who had
created the Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment in the state, said
that the creation of the ministry would engender peaceful co-existence and
check the growing threat of hate speech.
The governor, who spoke
when the Head of Service of the Federation (HoSF), Mrs. Winifred Oyo Ita led
Heads of Service from the 36 States of the federation paid him a courtesy call
at the Government House, Owerri, said “the nation requires the sacrifices of
all, including the civil servants to remain strong and united.”
He said: “The nation is
also in dire need of all of us to show leadership at all levels. Again,
negative comments discourage leaders. And time has come for the establishment
of Federal Ministry of Peace and Religious Affairs. Ministries should be
created to meet the immediate need of the people. With too much hate speeches,
such ministry has become necessary.”
