Most Rev. Dr. Bulus Dauwa Yohanna commend Governor Bago for reintroducing Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) in Niger State public schools, emphasizing its role in moral development. The Governor’s decision aims to foster understanding and respect within the diverse populace. Collaborative efforts among various stakeholders are necessary to safeguard the youth’s future.
The Chairman of the Niger State Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Most Rev. Dr. Bulus Dauwa Yohanna, has praised Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago for his decision to reintroduce Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) in public schools throughout Niger State. Yohanna, through his Media Aide, Daniel Atori, emphasized the Governor’s dedication to the welfare of all citizens, regardless of their faith.
The announcement of this decision occurred during a meeting with a delegation from the Christian community, which included the State CAN Executive and Hon. Afiniki Dauda, the Deputy Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly. The Governor expressed that the inclusion of CRK aims to nurture children’s moral character, stating, “the subject will be made compulsory for Christians in all public schools across the state because family values and morality have been replaced with social vices, resulting in moral decadence.”
In his commendation, Yohanna, who serves as the Catholic Bishop of the Kontagora Diocese, noted that the incorporation of CRK is essential for fostering understanding and respect for the Christian faith. He lauded the Governor’s leadership, stating, “I commend the leadership style of the farmer-Governor because he has shown his commitment to fairness and inclusivity irrespective of religion or tribe,” which he believes promotes unity in the diverse society of Niger State.
Furthermore, Yohanna highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts among the government, parents, religious leaders, and other stakeholders to secure a bright future for the youth of Niger State. He believes that such collective action is critical in addressing the moral challenges facing the community today.
In conclusion, the reintroduction of Christian Religious Knowledge in Niger State public schools signifies a commitment to enhancing moral values among students. Governor Bago’s initiative has received widespread support from the Christian community, reflecting a dedication to unity and inclusivity. Collaborative efforts among various societal stakeholders are essential to ensuring the positive impact of this educational policy on future generations.
