This contribution addresses the question of the need for a provision for Ecclesiastical Courts in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which, from one part, guarantees freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion to her citizens, and from other provides the Muslim the constitutional right to vindicate his/her rights in the Sharia Courts of Appeal. The paper interrogates what the significance should have such «Ecclesiastical Court of Appeal» for Christians in Nigeria and what
could be the merits, demerits and future prospects of such a bill in a secular State, with freedom of religion for the multiple faiths of the citizens.
