The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has urged both Christians and Muslims in the country to collaborate with each other in tackling the menace of corruption.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Secretary-General NSCIA, Dr Lateef Adegbite, made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, on Thursday, and appealed to Christians and Muslims to seize the occasion of the Easter season to reflect on the situation of the country and also cultivate the values and virtues extolled by their religions.

He advised the adherents of the two religions to join forces with the nation’s leadership to tackle the issue of corruption.

“Let us seize the occasion of this season to reflect on the situation of our country and resolve to effect changes that would ensure real development and meaningful progress in the land.

“To this end, we should join forces with the authorities in tackling the twin evils of corruption and insecurity that are threatening to consume the nation,” the statement added.

NSCIA said Nigeria would be a great nation if the society was free from corruption, submitting that such would bring about real and meaningful development to the land.

It enjoined Nigerians to be security conscious by reporting any suspicious movement of people to relevant security agencies.

The statement said further that “development cannot be achieved in a state of insecurity. We should, therefore, cooperate with authorities to secure the nation.

“We should mobilise all faithful to be security-conscious, reporting every suspicious movement to the nearest security outfit.”

Don't mind those fake Christians and Muslim bigots in your midst.
Them go soon quench for one Nigeria hand!
