Governor Kayode Fayemi on Wednesday congratulated the Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Most Revd. Matthew Hassan Kukah, on his appointment into the Papal Dicastery on Promotion of Integral Human Development.
The governor hailed the appointment in a letter personally signed by him, dated Jan. 19, in Ado Ekiti.
He stated that the appointment was an unequivocal expression of Pope Francis’ confidence in Bishop Kukah’s ability to be an “impeccable advisor on a wide range of human development issues”.
Fayemi described the dicastery as a perfect place for Kukah because it was one of the apostolic ministration of the papal in “reaching the weak, seeking social justice and ending all forms of practices inimical to the dignity of man”.
Fayemi said that he had no doubt that the bishop would bring his competence and character to bear on his new role.
“On behalf of my wife, the government and good people of Ekiti State, kindly accept my best wishes as you resume your new role” , the governor said.(NAN)
