Borno CAN Advocates for Christian Cemeteries and Worship Centers
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Borno State chapter, has made a formal appeal to the Borno State government for the establishment of more cemeteries for Christians and the fencing of existing graveyards located at Dala and Maximum Prison areas in Maiduguri. During a town hall meeting focused on the 2027 budget, Senior Apostle Joshua Akeredolu Michael, the Secretary of CAN, emphasized the need for worship centers in higher education institutions to facilitate Christian students' attendance at services.
He noted that the current graveyards are inadequate and highlighted the importance of these centers for enhancing student morality. Senior Apostle Akeredolu Michael commended Governor Babagana Umara Zulum for his inclusive governance but urged the government to involve CAN in budget planning to better address the needs of the Christian community.
He expressed continued support for Governor Zulum and his successor as his tenure approaches its end.
