Nigerian leader said by the constitution of possession to which he has subscribed and inaugurated to uphold that, there shall be no state of religion, continuing that all residents are guaranteed freedom of worship. He said: “More importantly, also, I affirm that the business of the state is to protect the lives livelihood and property of al Nigerians regardless of religion, ethnicity and or political affiliation. “Our pan-Nigerian mandate was to deal with the issues of economy and corruption. On security, we are on course. We must change the paradise of economy and create an enabling free enterprise”. Earlier in his speech, the President of CBCN and Archbishop of Jos, Most Rev.
