The archbishop said, “If we must get things right, leaders must think of the nation and not tribe and religion.”
The meeting followed recent comments by U.S. President Donald Trump, who threatened military action against Nigeria over alleged Christian genocide.
The archbishop described sign language as a valuable tool for ministry.
“If your vocation is education, be committed to it and don’t envy the priest who is getting the goat and ram and all that,” said the archbishop.
He made this appeal during the 33rd Annual Special Easter Monday celebration, organised by the Sir David Osunde Foundation in Abuja.
Mr Kaigama also urged the international community to address poverty and injustice ignored by leaders who govern poorly.
Ms Tallen thanked her guests for the tributes.
The cleric also cautioned religious leaders against unguarded utterances capable of igniting conflicts among religious faithful.
Mr Kaigama said the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) stipulated that every diocese plant a minimum of 20,000 trees.
In an Easter message on Sunday, Mr Kaigama said Easter was a time of renewal, rebirth, and hope.
