Nigerian Catholic Bishops have expressed their complete displeasure over an alleged move by the Minister of Health, in collaboration with foreign organizations to encourage abortion among Nigerian women. In a communiqué issued at the end of a 3-day second plenary meeting, the Catholic Bishops Conference of Ibadan Ecclesiastical province, has kicked against the alleged move by the Minister of Health, Prof Isaac Adewole, in collaboration with foreign organizations, to encourage abortion by increasing the culture of contraception among Nigerian women.
The respected clerics who described the move by the federal government as an ‘anti-life policy’  after the plenary meeting of the province held in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Wednesday,
“condemned the recent move by the Minister of Health, Prof Adewole in collaboration with the foreign agencies to commit the federal government to increasing the culture of contraception and subsequently, abortion among our people”
The communiqué signed by its President and Archbishop of Ibadan, Gabriel Abegunrin and Secretary, Bishop Felix Ajakaye noted that “the policy is being done all in the name of providing better maternal health and empowering our people.”
The communiqué reads: “We see such moves as deceptive to our people and harmful to moral values and we ask Nigerians to reject them.”
