He spoke during the opening session of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) meeting at Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Pro-Cathedral, Abuja.

The president told the bishops that they must not relent in their efforts as their prayers had kept the country together.

“We need more prayers to end terrorism. With prayers and the measures put in place, we will surmount the challenges,” he said.

Jonathan said his administration was ready to enter into a partnership with the church to improve the standards of education in the country.
