The Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has
lamented that after 40 years, the two universities in the north have
persistently denied Christian access to erect a worshiping place in their
campuses, reports ITRealms.
This revelation was made by President of CBCN, Bishop
Ignatius Kaigama when he led his administrative members on courtesy call to
President Muhammadu Buhari at State House, Abuja.
“We bring to your notice that sad enough, Christians are
still unable to erect places of worship in Federal Universities in the northern
states,” the bishops said.
Pointing out that after 40 years, the aforementioned two
universities, for example, have out-rightly denied Christians access to lands
already in the plans for the erection of Churches, in spite of their being so
many mosques built by the university authorities.
They also noted that in some northern states, “it is such a
herculean task for Christians to obtain certificates of occupancy to build Churches
in some northern States. We urge you to kindly encourage State governments to
kindly enforce the freedom of religion enshrined in our Constitution.
