The Senate has passed the second reading of a bill to establish the National Centre for Christian Education, which will “regulate and set standards” for the practise of Christianity in Nigeria.
The federal lawmaker stated that the bill, if enacted, would “properly strengthen religion as a source of strength and national cohesion, which is why the bill to establish the centre to develop a curriculum for Christian education is so important.”
Sen. abba moro, who represents Benue South in the red chamber, stated that the measure was ‘appropriate’ in light of the fact that some young people had been duped by radical religious figures.
Sen. Moro emphasised that there is no doubt that misinterpretation of the Bible and the Quran contributes to some of the nation’s issues.
Following the debate, Senate President Ahmad Lawan, who presided over the plenary, submitted the bill to a voice vote, and it passed Second Reading.
However, for further legislative input, Senator Lawan referred the draught to the Education Committee.
