The Founder and President of Apostolic Round Table (ART), a Non-Governmental Organisation frontliner in advocacy for good governance, Dr Bolaji Akinyemi, has called on Christian bodies to imbibe the spirit of unity and understanding capable of facilitating prompt passage of the National Christian Education Bill currently undergoing reading at the National Assembly.
Akinyemi who also doubles as the Chairman of Board of Trustees and National Coordinator of Project Victory Call aka PVC-Naija, an NGO that charts a new course for new Nigeria, also noted that the recent open disagreement between Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Catholic Bishops of Nigeria when the latter were represented by Bishop Matthew Kukah at the Assembly during a sitting on the bill, was inimical and an impediment to its passage.
Bishop Kukah had represented the Catholic Bishops to present the interest and position of the Catholic Church on the bill.
Akinyemi made the call in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
