The Coalition of Civil Society Groups for Peace, Security, Good Governance, Equity, and Justice has commended Senator Godswill Akpabio, President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for successfully leading the Federal Government delegation to the burial of the late Pope. In a statement, National Coordinator Comrade James Okoronkwo said this gesture demonstrates Nigeria’s commitment to interfaith dialogue and respect for diverse religious traditions. Comrade Okoronkwo noted that Senator Akpabio’s leadership in this regard reflects positively on Nigeria’s international reputation and diplomatic relations. “This gesture demonstrates Nigeria’s commitment to interfaith dialogue and respect for diverse religious traditions,” Okoronkwo said. He also highlighted Nigeria’s historical relationship with the Vatican, which dates back to the country’s independence in 1960. The civil society group appreciates Senator Akpabio’s dedication to promoting Nigeria’s interests and values on the global stage. Okoronkwo emphasized that the Vatican’s influence in Nigeria is evident through institutions like the Catholic Church, which operates numerous schools, hospitals, and humanitarian organizations across the country. “These initiatives have contributed significantly to Nigeria’s socio-economic development,” Okoronkwo added. The Coalition of Civil Society Groups for Peace, Security, Good Governance, Equity, and Justice believes that Senator Akpabio’s actions have strengthened Nigeria’s relations with the Vatican. Okoronkwo commended the Senate President for his efforts in promoting interfaith dialogue and cooperation.
