The Katsina chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called for the recruitment of Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) teachers to instil morals in pupils in the state.

The secretary of the association, Dr Musa Daniel-Danladi, made the call in an interview with journalists in Katsina on Monday.

He said the call was imperative to enhance teaching and instil sound morals in public schools, especially in the southern part of the state, where there is an appreciable number of indigenous Christians.

Mr Daniel-Danladi also appealed to Governor Dikko Radda to appoint an indigenous Christian as special assistant (SA) on Christian affairs in the state.

“This has been the practice of the previous All Progressive Congress (APC) administration in the state,” he said.

He also lauded the state government’s gesture to Christians during the Christmas celebrations.

“We commend Mr Radda for his tremendous effort in curbing the insecurity in the state. As it stands, no single Christian is in the hands of kidnappers.

“And we have marked more than a month without receiving any report of attack; instead, it’s the bandits that are being flushed out. This is quite commendable,” he said.

The CAN secretary further admonished Christians to pray for peace, unity and progress in the state and Nigeria in general.
