The Catholic Church in Nigeria is set to
reconcile its differences with the Christian Association of Nigeria
(CAN).Speaking in Abuja as part of the ceremony marking this year's World Communication Day, the director of communications, Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, Rev Fr Tom Asen, disclosed that discussions were underway to ensure that the Catholic Church in Nigeria returned to CAN.
It would be recalled that the Catholic Church in Nigeria recently pulled out as a member of the association due to some irreconcilable differences between the two bodies.
Fr Asen noted that disagreement and reconciliation were part of human existence, because it existed in every organisation, including families.
"We are hoping that very soon, the catholic church in Nigeria will return as a full member of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). This is based on the on-going discussions at various levels over the issue. Nigerians should realise that disagreement and reconciliation are part and parcel of human existence, because even family members at times quarrel and reconcile", he said.
Also speaking, a representative of the Director General, Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Mrs Francisca Aiyetan, advised media practitioners in the country to always stick to the ethics of journalism profession to avoid sanctions from the commission.
Aiyetan who is a zonal director in the commission urged Nigerians not to be influenced by information coming from the social media, since the channel has became an all comers medium.
