Ghanaians urged to remember Nigeria in prayer

Accra, Jan. 27, GNA- Global Intercessory Prayer Organisation (GIPO), a non governmental organization, has call on Ghanaians to show more concern for Nigeria’s current instability by praying for that country.

“The West African Gas Pipeline project and the proliferation of Nigerian-owned banks in the country are typical examples of the corporation between the two countries”. It said Ghana and Nigeria were the two major powers in the West African sub-region and should therefore stand together and take the leading role in promoting cooperation among other African countries. continued
