Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged lawmakers to refrain from damaging the reputation of the Living Faith Church in the light of its recently approved airstrip license.

In October, the Minister for Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, granted the church permission to construct an airstrip, which will be managed by the federal government through the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.

This approval has faced backlash from certain members of the House of Representatives, who have called for the revocation of airstrip licenses awarded to private entities, citing concerns over national security.
In a statement released by CAN president Archbishop Daniel Okoh, the association urged a fair and impartial investigation by lawmakers.

While acknowledging the legitimacy of security concerns, CAN emphasised that such issues should not foster undue suspicion or religious discrimination.

The church, according to reports, has met all legal and safety standards necessary to obtain the license, demonstrating its compliance with regulatory requirements.

“The church has followed all regulatory procedures to secure this license. To hastily link the church to potential illegal activities without substantial evidence compromises the integrity of both the religious community and regulatory authorities,” the CAN president stated.

He further explained the church’s significant contributions to peace, development, and community service, cautioning against any actions that may undermine the trust between religious organizations and the government.

“Revoking the license without compelling evidence would unjustly infringe upon the rights of religious entities and establish a concerning precedent,” Okoh warned.

The CAN president called for transparency and constructive dialogue throughout the process, urging lawmakers to keep religious biases out of their judgment.

“As we await the findings of the investigation, we encourage all stakeholders to engage in cooperation and dialogue. This presents an opportunity to reinforce trust and mutual respect between religious communities and the state,” he stated.

He reaffirmed CAN’s commitment to support efforts that balance national security with the protection of religious freedoms.

“With wisdom, patience, and mutual respect, we can resolve this issue in a manner that honors our shared values and promotes the prosperity of our nation,” Okoh said.

The House Committees on Aviation and Legislative Compliance have been assigned to investigate the situation.
