Wamakko said in Sokoto that the League would encourage followers of the two major religions in Nigeria to work closely, to engender respect and understanding among them.
According to him, the organisation is bringing together Muslim and Christian scholars to a conference aimed at strengthening knowledge on the teachings of the two religions.
Wamakko added that the conference would address issues of religious extremism, violence in the name of religion and similar issues that tend to portray religion in bad light.
