The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Borno State chapter, has urged the state government to provide worship centres for Christian students in tertiary institutions across the state.
The association also called for more Christian cemeteries and the fencing of existing graveyards in the Dala and Maximum Prison areas of Maiduguri.
CAN Secretary, Senior Apostle Joshua Akeredolu Michael, made the appeals at a town hall meeting on the 2027 budget organised by the state Ministry of Budget in Maiduguri.
Michael said existing Christian cemeteries in Maiduguri and Jere Local Government Area were inadequate, making additional burial grounds necessary.
He added that worship centres in government-owned tertiary institutions would enable Christian students to attend religious services.
The CAN secretary said the association would document other concerns raised by Christians in the state and submit them to the government.
