Buhari described the clergyman as a highly respected academic and a professor, saying that he will continue to take advice from the recognized proponent of Christian-Muslim dialogue.

The President said that he is pleased to hear that the Most Reverend Idowu-Fearon  , upon his retirement, plans to return to Nigeria and continue with his work of promoting Christian-Muslim Understanding at the Centre he established in Kaduna.

“The nation will continue to cherish Idowu-Fearon’s efforts to heal the society especially at the height of the Boko Haram attacks, which he followed up even while abroad, treating victims of terror as if they were his family members.”
