Eko Hot Blog reports that Prof. Kunle Macaulay, President of the Association of Christian Theologians (ACTS), has challenged a recent High Court ruling by appealing to the Court of Appeal.
He advocates for the separation of church education from secular education overseen by the National University Commission (NUC).
Prof. Macaulay argued that Christian education should be distinct from secular institutions controlled by the NUC, which he believes favors government and secular entities.

He also called for church education and professions to be governed by church leaders and experts, reflecting their spiritual and faith-based nature.
The appeal has garnered support from prominent figures including Professors Aniefiok Akpabio, Patricia Iroele, and James Ezeoma, all executives of ACTS. Rev. Mrs. Funmi Bakare, a notable Christian leader, and Bishop Stephen Ogunduyile also supports the demand for greater credibility and autonomy in church professions.
