Nigeria’s current constitution faces potential reform, with prominent religious leader John Onaiyekan advocating for a closer look at its functionalities. The former Catholic Archbishop of Abuja made these remarks during an event organized by the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, on Friday.
Onaiyekan criticized the document, claiming inconsistencies and a lack of clarity on the role of religion in nation-building. He further argued for decentralization of power and increased efficiency at the state level.
The cardinal said the constitution does not stipulate how religion is meant to contribute to nation-building.
