1.     Health: Health is said to be wealth by many people of diverse cultures across the world and this seems to be an accepted principle and slogan everywhere. Practicing professional chaplains are expected to offer their professional care services to help keep the populace wholistically healthy, ensuring their wellness and wholeness which provide all human resources that will be able to increase productivity of people and as well increase economic productivity of a nation and therefore an increase economic development of a nation.

2.     Professional practicing chaplains can help to foster unity amongst the people of ethnic groups, ensuring peaceful co-existence of all people of various ethnicity for sustainable development of the citizens and the nation, in realization of the fact that without peace and peaceful co-existence, there can be no meaningful development.

3.     Practicing professional chaplains can establish professional chaplaincy practice and service centers, thus providing opportunities for government to get taxes from their practices. Also providing government opportunities for themselves as well as helping to providing employment in the nation thereby reducing unemployment to some level.

4.     Mounting a very strong advocacies and awareness of the evil in government of the day from injustice of any magnitude, justice denial and delay to keep the government of the day on her toes to provide good governance for political stabilizing and sustainable development of a nation.
