Registration of Religious Houses to Commence Middle of next Year

The Lagos State Government is planning to register religious houses in order to ensure sanity in the state.

Commissioner for Home Affairs, Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf, made this known in Alausa, during a stakeholders meeting with the Nigeria Inter-religious Council.

Akinbile-Yussuf said the registration, which was supposed to commence by middle of 2020, would help to identify worship centres that are being used to perpetrate illegalities in the state.

She said that having a database of all religious bodies in the state would enable ease of reference, as well as ensuring effective communication.
