Adeolu Kolawole, a Bishop of the Church of the Lord (Aladura), Northern Diocese, on Sunday, appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan, to immediately resolve the controversy over the proposed Islamic banking.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna, Mr. Kolawole said educating the Christian community on Islamic banking, would make the issue simple enough for all to appreciate, stating that more than half of those commenting on Islamic banking did not know what it was.
He said the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), had ``helped in spreading the ignorance and confusion''. ``It (CBN) is more interested in saying what Islamic banking is not rather than what it is and ways it would help the Nigerian economy.
Mr. Kolawole however urged all those in authority to lay emphasis on issues that would unite the country as basis for national development. He congratulated Bishop Matthew Kukah has he was consecrated has Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto State recently. He urged him to use his position in Sokoto to promote peace and unity in northern Nigeria as he was called by God to fulfil a purpose in the area.
