Delegates at the National
Conference have disagreed over a recommendation for the scrapping of pilgrims
boards.
Chairman of the Committee
on Religion Chief Olushola Akanmode argued that since a recommendation for the
stoppage of funding of pilgrimage by the government was approved, there was no
need retaining the pilgrims board.
Voting on the matter would
be repeated today.
Meanwhile, the conference
has approved the payment of taxes by religious bodies, including mosques and
churches, to government.
