Gov Aliyu
Assures of Religious Harmony
The Governor of Niger State,
Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu,
has reiterated that his
administration would
continue to be fair and just
to all manners of people
irrespective of their ethnic
and religious inclinations.
Speaking when he received
the newly inaugurated
executive members of the
state Chapter of the
Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), Governor
Aliyu urged the association
to assist government in its
efforts to identify and
apprehend fake preachers who
might be out to instigate
people to cause trouble in
the state.
“We must be at alert and
conscious, we must find ways
of vetting our preachers to
identify the fake ones
amongst them and in doing
so, we must adopt the
community policing approach
that will make it possible
to know when a new preacher
comes to town and whether he
is knowledgeable enough to
preach”, he emphasized.
The Governor appealed to CAN
to assist the state
government by providing
volunteer teachers in
Christian Religious
Knowledge (CRK) where
necessary to ensure that
pupils are taught ethical
and moral lessons early
enough for the overall good
of the society.
Earlier, the CAN Chairman,
Rev. Musa S. Dada, said the
delegation was in Government
House on a courtesy visit
and to introduce the new
executive to the government.
