General Overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, has urged Nigerians to embrace attitudinal change to enable the nation attain national growth.

The Clergy said the conference with the theme, ‘Driving Positive Change and Social Impact’, was inspired by the recent happenings in the nation.

“What inspired the Change Makers International Initiative is that we look around us, we see things happening and we see that we can do better. Every individual, family in any situation can do better,” he said.

“We can do better in various areas: in relationships, interaction, in work place, everywhere. and then we carry the changes to our offices, everywhere, all that we are mourning, groaning about, things will turn around for the better.

“Change can take place in diverse ways but we are talking about positive change and we will see it happen by the grace of God.”

He noted that the CMI initiative is a non religious, non partisan and non denominational movement aimed at changing the narratives around the country.

“This is non religious, non partisan, non denominational. This is for humanity and we want to leave the world, our community better than we met it. And it will apply to people in different ways.

“First of all, I might have to change my attitude, my mindset, to change a lot of things. And when those changes comes together it changes the person and changes the interaction with people around.

“When those changes are made, we see a national change, we see community change and we go ahead to see global change.”

Kumuyi expressed the hope that the ripple effects of the conference beginning Thursday in the city of Port Harcourt would have a boomerang effect on every strata of national development.

“As at the extent of what we are doing today, starting tomorrow, you see there are reports but the light will shine and it will make us to see more than we saw before. What we see will also lead to what we do and it will bring the change. It’s a kind of change reaction,” he said.

The clergyman emphasized the need for everybody to join hands for a better nation.

On his part, Dr Minaibi Dagogo-Jack, Rivers State Chairman, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) said the programme was coming at the right time when the country desires so much change following the rate of vices going on in the nation, urging everyone to be part of it.
