From Nigeria-
The Anglican Bishop of diocese on the Niger , Rt. Rev. Owen Nwokolo, has expressed the displeasure over the way Federal Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Lamido Sanusi have been going about the controversial Islamic Banking.Speaking weekend with Daily Champion during the valedictory service and dedication of projects at St. Christopher's Junior Seminary, 3-3, Nkwelle-Ezunaka, a suburb of Onitsha , the Bishop said that as the name implies, it is clear that Islamic Banking is for Moslems.
He contended that attempt to set it up in Nigeria, a secular state, is a subtle way of propagating Islamic religion, stressing that the term non-interest banking is deceitful as no bank, in-fact noting in life is free.
Bishop Nwokolo called on President Goodluck Jonathan to use his presidential powers to take decisive decision and stop what he called "this evil agenda".
On the menace of Boko Haram sect, he said that it is still akin to Islamic banking, saying that the sect is being used by disgruntled persons to scuttle President Jonathan's reform agenda.
