He said until ignorance of Islam was completely tackled, mischievous and self-serving people would continue to project the peaceful faith in a negative perspective.The governor advocated religious harmony in Nigeria, saying it was time to pay attention to the way religious instructions were taught. He added that religion should be used as a tool to moderate actions, encourage unity and foster peace.He expressed optimism that Nigeria would soon get it right in the area of religious knowledge, harmony and trust towards collective peace and national unity towards collective developmental aspiration.
