Yohanna, in a statement by his Media Aide, Daniel Atori, described the Governor as one who means well for the people, irrespective of their religion.

The Governor’s decision was announced during a meeting with a delegation from the Christian community led by the State CAN Executive and the Deputy Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, Hon. Afiniki Dauda.

The Governor, while explaining that CRK would help children grow with the fear of God, added that “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, the Chairman, who is also the Catholic Bishop of Kontagora Diocese, disclosed that “the Governor’s approval for the reintroduction of CRK in public schools across the state will bring about understanding of the faith and mutual respect.”

“I commend the leadership style of the farmer-Governor because he has shown his commitment to fairness and inclusivity irrespective of religion or tribe,” he said, adding that this has fostered unity and a harmonious society among diverse groups and religions in the state.

He added that concerted efforts by the government, parents, religious leaders, and other relevant stakeholders are needed to ensure the future of the youth is safeguarded.
