CAN Pushes for Diversity in North-West Development Commission

By   Milcah   Tanimu

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Kaduna State has urged President Bola Tinubu to reevaluate the membership of the North-West Development Commission. The association believes that a more inclusive composition will enhance effective coordination and successful policy implementation in the region.

Pastor Caleb Ma’aji, the state chairman of CAN, made this appeal during a courtesy visit from officials of the Northern Christian Youth Professionals. He emphasized the importance of reflecting the true religious and ethnic diversity in the North-West.

Represented by Secretary Emmanuel Okunlola, Ma’aji highlighted Nigeria’s multicultural and multi-ethnic nature. He stated, “Those in authority must consider this diversity in the spirit of peaceful coexistence.”

In addition, Ma’aji reminded Governor Uba Sani of his earlier promise to reconstruct the church in the Kuriga Community of Chikun Local Government Area. The church was previously destroyed, along with its properties, during violent incidents.

Furthermore, Ma’aji called for patience and resilience among Nigerians facing difficulties. He encouraged trust in the government for a brighter future and national survival. He expressed hope that the ongoing reforms by the Federal Government would spur economic revival and national prosperity, while reminding leaders of their accountability to God.

Earlier, Mr. Isaac Abrak, President of the Northern Christian Youth Professionals, explained that the group aims to improve the socio-economic well-being of Christians in the North and all Nigerians. He noted that their organization supported Tinubu’s election due to his past leadership in uplifting the youth and the underprivileged.

Abrak urged Nigerians to give the President time and cooperation as his reform policies take effect. He praised CAN for advocating a review of the North-West Development Commission and addressing the issue of the Kuriga bandit attacks. He emphasized that all Nigerians deserve equal treatment, regardless of their religious, cultural, or ethnic backgrounds.
