Bishop Kukah gets new appointment from Pope
The Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Kukah, has been appointed as a member of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Promotion of Human Integral Development by His Grace, Pope Francis.
According to a letter from Vatican dated January 11, Bishop Kukah would join his global counterparts in the Dicastery to advise and promote the Pope’s concerns on issues pertaining to justice and peace, human rights, torture, human trafficking, amongst other development issues.
Spokesman of the Sokoto Diocese, Christopher Omotosho, a reverend father, said in a statement Monday that Bishop Kukah’s latest appointment, which is “renewable for an initial period of five years,” adds to his “string of national and international engagements within the universal Church.”
Bishop Kuka has been critical of Nigerian government’s handling of critical national issues.
It is therefore, no surprise that he has gotten Rome’s attention.
