President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday, received a delegation of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) at the State House, Abuja.
The clergymen were learnt to be on a courtesy visit to the State House, Abuja.
The delegation was led by the Most Rev. Matthew Man-Oso Ndagoso, the Archbishop of Kaduna and President of the CBCN.
Elsewhere, the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah has sounded the alarm over what he called relentless daily killings in Nigeria.
The cleric warned that the scale and pattern of violence are not seen anywhere else in the world.

Kukah spoke in Yola, Adamawa State, at the public presentation of a book titled The Man They Could Not Stop, authored by Solomon Kumangar, former Director-General of Media and Communication to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
Kukah lamented the frequency of killings across the country, saying the country had become dangerously polarised along religious lines.
“This is something that is happening in Nigeria that cannot happen in Sudan, Cameroon, Niger, Ghana or any country in the world,” Kukah said.
“There is no other country in the world where 10 people are killed on Monday, 50 on Tuesday, 100 on Wednesday, and the killing goes on every week. “How can such a country move forward?”
He added that religious identities have increasingly served as the prism through which violence is reported and understood.
