Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, has decried the absence of shared myths, monuments, and founding ideals that bind Nigeria together.
This was as he said that Nigeria must reload itself to rediscover its moral direction and rebuild its national identity.
The Bishop stated this on Friday at a book launch to commemorate the 60th birthday of ex-presidential aide and ARISE News anchor, Dr Reuben Abati.
The cleric lamented that the country has become a nation of disrupted dreams, where the moral and intellectual standards that once defined public life have disappeared with time.
“We need to reload—to ask ourselves what is happening, what we are doing, and what we can do differently.
“Until we establish a moral foundation and a unifying national myth, Nigeria will continue to move without direction,” he said.
The Bishop called on Nigeria to rethink its values, institutions, and moral compass.
