Nigeria’s religious plurality and conflict potential necessitate the promotion of Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB). Numerous projects in Nigeria are addressing these issues by promoting religious tolerance, interfaith understanding, and the defense of religious freedom. In this regard, the Center for Law and Religion Studies at Bauchi State University, Gadau, has started ambitious and creative initiatives to promote FoRB via advocacy, instruction, and training.

This talk will highlight the Center’s all-encompassing strategy, which includes creating a curriculum for Law and Religion Studies that is especially suited to Nigeria, offering a course on FoRB to law students, and introducing an LLM program that is concentrated on this important area. The Center’s commitment to advancing FoRB extends beyond academia, as evidenced by a series of seminars created to instruct and train personnel from ministries of religious affairs, as well as civil servants from other states. These seminars promote interfaith communication at various levels of government and highlight the significance of FoRB knowledge.
