The proprietor of Al-Azhar International, School, Lokoja, Kogi State, one of the frontline Islamic secondary schools in the country, Dr Yakeen Habeeb, has urged adherents of the two dominant religions in Nigeria – Muslims and non-Muslims to focus on inter-religious dialogue between Muslims and Christians in order to further understand both religious béliefs, aspirations and goals for mankind.

This according to Dr Habeeb, will further strengthened mutual coexistence between the two religions.

Dr Habeeb, Enonomist, a retired Banker, and Deputy Leader (Naib Amir North) Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Nigeria, made this known during the graduation cérémony of the school in Lokoja, recently.

The highlight of the events was a lively inter-religious symposium, célébration of the school achèvements and Quranic graduation ceremony.
