Kukah Urges FG to Enforce Freedom Of Religious Practice
The Federal Government of Nigeria has been called upon by Bishop of the Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah, to enforce the provision for the freedom of religion and worship as enshrined in the nation’s constitution and other laws of land.
According to Bishop Kukah, this can be done by providing adherents of different faiths in the country with places of worship in the various Federal Government establishments across the nation.
The Bishop who spoke to journalists shortly after the inaugural Mass at the catholic chaplaincy of the 119 Composite Group of the Nigeria Air force Sokoto, emphasized the importance of these places of worships that enable personnel to freely practice their religion.
He said most federal government universities, medical centres and other federal government establishments have no provisions for places of worship for Christians especially in many parts of Northern Nigeria, which is in breach of the constitutional provision.
Professor Is-haq Oloyede has formally handed over to Professor Segun Aina as Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
President Bola Tinubu appointed Professor Segun Aina to succeed the outgoing Registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, whose two-term tenure ended on July 31, 2026.
