A Church History and African Culture scholar, Prof. Onah Augustine Odey, has called for the adoption of interfaith dialogue, mediation, and education as key instruments for resolving religious conflicts and divisions in Nigeria.

Delivering the 121st inaugural lecture of the University of Uyo on Thursday, titled “The Battle of the Gods in the Christianization of Yala (1928–2024),” Prof. Odey stressed that open communication and mutual understanding are vital for peaceful coexistence among Nigeria’s diverse religious groups.
