Abstract
The economic situation of Nigeria among other nations is nothing to write home about. Other
nations’ economy in one way or the other improve the life of their citizens but that of Nigeria
keeps making wounds in the hearts of the citizens. Early 2023, one of the challenges that hit the
economy of Nigeria was scarcity of cash and security challenges such as armed robbery,
kidnapping and many others. Finding shows that Nigerians have strong confidence in the
efficacy of sustainable peace in solving personal problems and that churches could ensure
National unity and development in Nigeria. This paper combed the core responsibilities of
churches in promoting Nigeria’s economy via preaching sound doctrines, engaging in political
affairs, avoiding high cost of living at the expense of the masses, encouraging churches to
organize poverty alleviation programmes through investments to generate gainful employment
and financial sources for youth and widows empowerment among many others.
