The Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah, has appealed to the Federal Government to uphold the freedom of religion and worship guaranteed by the nation’s constitution and other laws.
Goldennewsng reports that Kukah made the appeal during a chat with journalists shortly after the inaugural Mass at the catholic chaplaincy of the 119 Composite Group of the Nigeria Air Force Sokoto.
Kukah stated that enforcing religious freedom could be accomplished by giving adherents of diverse faiths places of worship in various Federal Government offices across the country.
Speaking further, the Bishop stressed the significance of these places of worship, which allow personnel to practice their religion freely.
He claimed that most federal government institutions, medical centres, and other establishments do not have provisions for houses of worship for Christians, particularly in many sections of Northern Nigeria, violating the constitution.
