CAN Lauds FG Over CRK, IRK Reinstatement

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has lauded the Federal Government over its reversal of the Christian Religious Knowledge and the Islamic Religious Knowledge fusion.

It would be recalled that there were protests from multiple quarters in the country concerning the merger of both subjects in Nigerian schools.

There were claims in some sections that the fusion of the subjects as one was a deliberate attempt to Islamise the country.

While lauding government for the reversal, president of CAN, Samson Ayokunle, equally urged that: “The Federal Ministry of Education should review all the textbooks that are currently being used in schools as some of them encourage ungodly practices like masturbation.

“We appreciate all well-meaning Nigerians, the media and the civil society for their roles while the controversy lasted.

“We pray for divine guidance and wisdom for our political leaders as they lead the country,” he said.a
