Pope Francis has appointed the Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, as a member of the Dicastery for the Promotion of Human Integral Development.


The appointment was contained in a letter to Kukah signed by the Prefect of the Dicastery, Peter Cardinal Turkson, according to a statement on Monday by Christopher Omotosho, the Director, Social Communications, Catholic Diocese of Sokoto.


“By this appointment, Bishop Kukah will join other members of the Dicastery drawn from different regions of the world to advise and promote the Holy Father’s concerns on issues of justice and peace, human rights, torture, human trafficking, care of creation and other issues related to the promotion of human dignity and development,” the statement partly read.


It noted that the appointment is renewable is for an initial period of five years, while the Council would be formally inaugurated on a soon-to-be disclosed date.


The recent appointment adds to Kukah’s string of national and international engagements within the universal Church.


He was previously appointed a Consultor and later a member of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue, Vatican City where he served under three Popes.


Kukah, whose wealth of experience in the areas of human rights, justice and reconciliation, has been commended by many, is currently the Chairman, Dialogue Committees of both the Regional Episcopal Conference of West Africa and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria.


The cleric is mostly known for his non-sentimental pose and frank criticisms of the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Kukah growing while haters hating

Good for him.

Good to read him denying that he never called for coup on the government.
That is it only some brainwashed swines that are taking his words outta context.

Touching kukah in the north will be an explosion

This is the person that MURIC and the gworo chewing dullardo wanted to destroy, useless souls.

The beginning of the beginning.

Ha.

your harlot mother deserves to be killed
thunder fire her and your useless papa for giving the earth a scumbag like you

die there you useless cretin

Honestly that thing you quoted,@, is something else.
Never seen a thing so useless and lacking in any form of sense

touch Kukah = end Nigeria

A warning to the Foolslani and Hausa terrorist.

All these unlearned fellow bashing kukah for speaking up freely for them should know that kukah is an asset. In the north, no cleric is as recognized as kukah internationally. Everything kukah is saying would benefit us more if they come into effect than the south. We should stand by him. Even this sultan, though not as learned as kukah, but is intelligent enough to support him.

Not every issue we allow illiterates to make contribution. Their free speech should end in brukutu joint and ash.awo quarters

Empty threats be flying everywhere.
Kukah be winning.
Let them not drown in sorrow o

Mod can you push this to front page pls
