Catholic Bishops kick against bill seeking to regulate Christian education

The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria {CBCN}, has kicked against a bill seeking to establish National Council of Christian Education.

According to the bishops, the proposed bill violates sections 10 and 42(3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.

The bishops insisted that rather than promoting a bill that violated the secular character of Nigeria, the Christian Association of Nigeria {CAN}, which originally pushed for the bill at the National Assembly, should promote legislations that address unprovoked attacks on Christians in the North, among others.
