Dr. Aziginaateeg said this in a new year's goodwill message from the ACUC, a think-tank on African good governance, to the entire church body and copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA).

He said the church ought to pursue good governance and encouraged it to expand its role by establishing agribusiness industries and engaging in innovative projects to aid the country's development.

These endeavours should be guided by biblical principles and teachings, ensuring that they align with moral and ethical standards while addressing practical needs.
He commended the churches' efforts in initiating programmes that focus on human well-being, such as building schools, health facilities, and other community-centered initiatives, which, according to him, reflected a commitment to improving lives and fostering societal growth.

According to the ACUC, the church must position itself at the forefront of a serious national reconstruction agenda by embracing a 24-hour economy multisectoral drive to contribute meaningfully as an engine of Ghana's robust infrastructural, technological, and overall socio-economic transformation.

"The clergy leadership in Ghana is challenged to rise to this occasion, ensuring that their actions honour God's name while driving sustainable development," he said.
He said in many Asian and Arab Muslim states, the Quran's teachings on socio-development transformation have been effectively utilised to enhance national development.

These teachings, he said, have contributed to policies that improve living standards by addressing poverty, hunger, and disease, adding that, as a result, these nations have achieved affordable food systems, decent housing, accessible clothing for all citizens, and overall happiness indices through good governance practices.

He called on the clergy to take inspiration from these examples, while tailoring solutions contextually relevant to Ghana's unique challenges.

"By doing so, the church can play a pivotal role in creating a nation where infrastructure development and socio- economic progress are realised under God's guidance," he said.
