Youths under the auspices of Niger Delta Youth Congress, NDYC, Monday, condemned and rejected the recently signed Company and Allied Matter Act, CAMA 2020 into law by President Muhammadu Buhari, repealing the CAMA Act 1990.

This was contained in a statement signed by the National Coordinator, NDYC, Comrade Israel Uwejeyan, describing it as anti-Christian.

The statement also demanded Buhari to have a rethink to suspend the CAMA law he assented if Churches are not exempted, and pointed that government should not dabble into affairs of the church in order not to go against divine authority.

It will be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari on August 7, 2020, assented to the CAMA 2020, which repeals and replaces the CAMA, 1990. The controversial section 839 (1) and (2) provides that religious bodies and non-governmental organisations will be strictly regulated by the Registrar-General of Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, and a supervising minister.

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN had condemned CAMA, 2020, and called for its immediate suspension. The President of CAN, Rev Dr Samson Ayokunle, said, “The law, to say the least, is unacceptable, ungodly, reprehensible and an ill-wind that blows no one any good. It is a time bomb waiting to explode.”

Various groups also have earlier condemned and demanded expunging the provision of CAMA 2020 that affects churches, which include the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, who described the controversial CAMA, 2020 as a declaration of war on Christianity and also alleged that it was an agenda to Islamise Nigeria by another means.

The Christian Rights Agenda, CRA, in its statement called on churches not to accept CAMA 2020, which is described as an anti-Christ law from the pit of hell.

The statement reads in part, “The Niger Delta Youth Congress, NDYC, succinctly rejects with outmost clarity the recent CAMA 2020 anti-Christianity law assented by President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We strongly condemn the anti-Christianity CAMA 2020 law and vow to resist it with all we have got because religious leaders were not ordained by any Government and cannot be removed by such.”

The statement also called on its members and Nigerians in general to resist the CAMA 2020, “We call on all our members, youths across the nation and well-meaning Nigerians to speak up against this law as it is a ticking time bomb.

“We strongly urge the Federal Government to concentrate on the security of lives and properties order than delve into matters of uttermost sensitivity that it can possibly avoid.

“We have watched with disdain the daily massacres of lives and destruction of properties by killer herdsmen, bandits and the Boko Haram terrorists and have hoped that the Buhari-led government matches words with actions.”

It also demanded that Buhari exempt Churches from the law, “We strongly demand that the President with immediate effect, suspend the recent CAMA law he assented to until Churches are exempted from it in order to avert chaos as we cannot leave the control of our Churches to any Government.”

It is only d court of law that has d final decisions concerning d cama law

Which court?

The youths are right here. Buhari rehabilitated hundreds of BH members but couldn't extract info to pin point their sponsors. Now, who doesn't know their sponsor?

So what they are saying is that a muslim will now have the power to decide what happens in the church? God forbid.
The next things is how did the Christians in the senate sit idly and allow such a law to be passed in the house.

I don't get... Does the so called bill not affect the Muslims Cos it seems it's more than just what I thought

Just to restrict the growth of the church and up extremism "new CAMA" law was born.


Yet the government of the North budget billions of naira to build mosques instead of classrooms.

... If this CAMA law was during GEJ's tenure you wouldn't have said this. Religious sentiment is the major problem of this country.. But why is it that it's the pastors that are complaining about this?. It's simply because church is been run like a normal dubious business organization. Shame on the pastors..

I would have kicked against this law BUT some churches (asides orthodox) have been run like business organizations so........... (I reserve this comment)
CAMA IS INDEED A BITCH

Barbaric law

just shut up and hit your head inside your mosque. A federal government that is the epitome of corruption wants to checkmate the church and then one day one mallam will decide what happens inside the church of the living God.

The church is more corrupt than the federal government. The federal government is a product of the churches and mosques

Sponsored militants by Pastorentrepreneurs.
Nothing wrong with CAMA.

I bet majority of the protesters don't really know what CAMA stands for.

Brainwashed fellows everywhere...

Yes, but did you hear any Mosques or Alhajis making an issue of this so far?
We rest our case!
We are watching the outcome.

Section 839 (1) and (2) provides that religious bodies and non-governmental organisations will be strictly regulated by the Registrar-General of Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, and a supervising minister.
