Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah, has called on Federal Government to provide places of worship for Christians especially in many parts of Northern Nigeria which lack such facility.
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.
His words:
“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.”
He called on the Federal Government to also enforce the provision for the freedom of religion and worship as enshrined in the nation’s constitution and other laws of land.
