On May 21, the Federal Government approved what it termed the RUGA settlement scheme, to curb open grazing of animals nationwide.
The President of CAN, Pastor Samson Ayokunle, announced the position of the association at a church leaders’ summit in Lagos on Saturday.
According to him, anything that smacks of mutual distrust should be avoided in the interest of national unity.
He said also the perception by many Christians that CAN had not been showing enough interest in national issues was wrong.
The CAN chief advised the Federal Government to intensify efforts on the establishment of modern ranching facilities, abattoirs and meat processing firms.
Also speaking, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, said that he supported the position of CAN on the RUGA settlement issue.
The Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, in a message, said that building of the nation is in the hands of God.
Osinbajo was represented by the Chaplain of Aso Rock Chapel, Pastor Sheyi Malomo.
