President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s continued commitment to guaranteeing freedom of religion as entrenched in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
The President stated this at the commissioning of the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria (ADSN) National Headquarters (Hassanat Abebi Okunnu House), in Surulere, Lagos, on Saturday.
The President, who was represented by the Attorney General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), said: “The government under my watch will continue to guarantee freedom of religion while encouraging religious organisations to promote tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and national unity.”
Tinubu commended ADSN for its contributions to education, moral development, religious service, healthcare, humanitarian intervention, and community development over a century ago, describing the organisation as one of the foremost Islamic bodies in Nigeria.
