The
General Overseer of the Charismatic Renewal Worldwide, Dr. Cosmos
Ikechukwu, has called on the Federal Government to make primary and
secondary education compulsory for pupils.
This, he said, would help to check the rising tide of suicide bombings in the northern part of the country.
Ikechukwu stated this shortly after the dedication of the Cathedral of Destiny in Calabar, Cross River State on Thursday.
The cleric, who decried the state of
suicide bombings in the country, said a good orientation via compulsory
and qualitative education could reverse the trend.
“The recent teenage suicide bombings
paint the most pathetic picture in the country. It has become necessary
for the Federal Government to evolve deliberate policy of mandatory and
unconditional education for all children in Nigeria. This is so because
an enlightened mind cannot easily be manipulated to commit such heinous
crimes as suicide bombing.”
The state governor, Liyel Imoke, noted that the church had always insisted on standard teachings of Christian doctrines.
Imoke, represented by his Special
Adviser on Religious Matters, Pastor Eyo Okpo-Ene, added that such
doctrines would help restore the lost values in the society.
