MURIC Accuses FG of Favouring Christians with N25bn Airport Chapel, Ignoring Muslims

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) says the Federal Government has shown bias by funding a ₦25 billion chapel at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja without a matching mosque project for Muslims. MURIC’s Executive Director highlights that ₦2 billion was given to victims of violence in Plateau State, yet no similar support reached victims in Borno, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Kwara and other states. He also questions why ₦1.2 billion was shared among all 19 northern states for Eid al-Kabir, while Plateau alone received ₦2 billion. He argues this treatment makes Muslims feel like “second-class citizens.” MURIC demands that the government allocate land and another ₦25 billion to build a grand national mosque, insisting that what’s good for one faith community should apply equally to the other.
