NSCIA congratulates Christian Association of Nigeria on 50th anniversary

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has issued a congratulatory message to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Christian community in celebration of CAN’s 50th anniversary.

In a statement signed by Secretary-General Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, the NSCIA described the anniversary as a significant milestone for both the Christian community and the Nigerian nation. The Council emphasized that religious leaders have played a vital role in promoting peace, dialogue, and coexistence during the country’s various challenges.

The Council expressed appreciation for platforms like the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council (NIREC) that facilitate constructive engagement between the two faiths to address national issues such as insecurity, poverty, and social inequality.
