The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has refuted claims that the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar, was invited to play a ceremonial role at the foundation-laying event for the Ecumenical Chapel at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. Media reports had suggested the Sultan was to serve as "Royal Father of the Day" at the ceremony, but CAN's media office dismissed the reports as false. The association stated that no such invitation was extended to the traditional ruler. The Ecumenical Chapel project is planned for the international airport in Abuja. CAN did not disclose who would be participating in the event or provide a revised list of invitees. The clarification was issued through the group's official media channels. No further details about the ceremony's date or guest list were shared.
