 Bishop of Sokoto, Catholic Dauces Matthew Cooker has advised the federal government to enforce the provision for the freedom of religion and worship especially North and Nigeria as enshrined in the nation's constitution and order laws of the land. The bishop who spoke to John Lee shortly after the inaugural mass at Catholic Chaplaincy of the 9th 119 composite group of the Nigerian Air Force said these can be achieved by providing adherents of different faiths in the country with places of worship and various federal government establishments. Bishop Cooker observed that most federal government establishment in the North have no provisions for places of worship for Christians which is in breach of the constitutional provision. Universities, polytechnics, hospitals, federal medical centers, army formations, there should be and there has always been since the early 70s a Catholic church, Protestant church and a mosque. But in many parts of Nigeria this is not lived according to the law which is why it has taken us this is the first time we are gathering here now to celebrate the holy mass. I took up this conversation with the former chief of Air Staff and it did make us a promise so this is not it's actually by not making these facilities available all the federal universities, all the federal hospitals, all the federal government formations everywhere in Nigeria are in breach of the law. They are in breach of the spirit of the constitution that allows Christians, Muslims, believers to practice their faith in many places especially in northern Nigeria this this has not been so I would like to call on the federal government because it's a question of enforcement the provisions are there every federal university has provision for the building of a church the building of a mosque building of so this is nothing new and our rights are enshrined in the constitution we shouldn't be begging for those rights to be enforced hello hope you enjoyed the news please do subscribe to our youtube channel and don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates
