Nigeria’s Largest Newspaper Praises Pro-Family Group Working to Strengthen Families in Africa, World

“We’re pleased to have Nigeria’s largest-circulation newspaper recognize the importance of the Abuja conference—aimed at giving the Nigerian perspective to a troubled world lurching from one moral crisis to another—and the role World Congress of Families is playing in strengthening the pro-family movement in Africa.”
(Abuja, Nigeria)—The Sun, Nigeria’s largest-circulation newspaper, was fulsome in its praise of World Congress of Families for helping to organize the conference, “The World Congress of Families Dialogue of Civilizations,” in Abuja, Nigeria’s federal capital, June 4-7.
The “Dialogue of Civilizations,” hosted by the Foundation for African Cultural Heritage, brought more than 400 participants to the Musa Yar’Adua Centre, for what The Sun called “the first pro-family conference in Africa.”
The paper described the event as “aimed at giving the Nigerian perspective to a troubled world lurching from one moral crisis to another.”
The Sun noted that addresses included: “A Plan of Action on the Family in Africa,” “A Christian View on Sexuality and Family,” “Population Decline of the Developed World—A Lesson for Africa,” “Pornography and the Family,” and “A Plan to Defend the Family at the United Nations.” Besides Nigeria, participants came from Cameroon, Ghana, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Netherlands and the United States.
WCF Communications Director Don Feder, who represented the Congress at the event, said, “We’re pleased to have Nigeria’s largest-circulation newspaper recognize the importance of the Abuja conference and the role World Congress of Families is playing in strengthening the pro-family movement in Africa.”
The Abuja Conference was a preparatory-conference for the upcoming World Congress of Families V in Amsterdam, Holland, August 10-12.
