Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Matthew Kukah, has challenged Northern Governors to address the religious uprising in the region.
Bishop Kukah contended that a situation where Northern Governors meet in Kaduna or in Abuja drinking tea and taking photographs without properly addressing the teething religious problems tearing the North apart is unacceptable.
He spoke yesterday in Yola at the commissioning of Sangere-Marghi Housing Estate, a settlement constructed by the Catholic Diocese of Yola, to accommodate Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, displaced by Boko Haram activities.
He told Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State, that when he and his colleagues meet, either in Abuja or in Kaduna, he should remind them to guide and lead the religious leaders on the way out of the religious intolerance in the region.

Catholic Church laments FG’s failure to use 425 hospitals offered for treatment of COVID-19 patients

The Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, CSN, yesterday lamented the failure of the Federal Government to utilize the 425 hospitals and clinics offered by the Church’s Conference of Bishops for use as isolation centres in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic last year.
Recall that the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 had, on May 11 2020, encouraged the 36 governors to approach the Catholic Bishops in their domains to access the facilities, warning that some of them may find it impossible to cope with the number of coronavirus cases that would be recorded in their states.
