President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday received a delegation of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) at the State House, Abuja.
It was learnt that the clergymen were on a courtesy visit to the State House, Abuja.
The delegation was led by the Most Rev. Matthew Man-Oso Ndagoso, the Archbishop of Kaduna and the President of the CBCN.
Elsewhere, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah has raised the alarm over what he called the relentless daily killings in Nigeria.
The cleric warned that the level and pattern of violence is not seen anywhere else in the world.
Kukah said this in Yola, Adamawa State, at the public presentation of a book titled The Man They Could Not Stop, written by Solomon Kumangar, former Director-General of Media and Communication to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
Lamenting the frequency of killings across the country, Kukah said Nigeria had become dangerously polarised along religious lines.

“This is something that is happening in Nigeria that cannot happen in Sudan, Cameroon, Niger, Ghana or any other country in the world,” Kukah said.
“There is no other country in the world where 10 people are killed on Monday, 50 on Tuesday, 100 on Wednesday, and the killing goes on every week. “How can such a country progress?”
Religious identities have become the prism through which violence is reported and understood,” he added.
