Background of the Study
In many democratic societies, including Nigeria, religious freedom is a cornerstone of the constitution. The Nigerian Constitution guarantees the freedom of religion and explicitly prohibits any state interference with religious practices. However, the extent to which constitutional law impacts the activities of religious organizations at the local government level, particularly in Gombe Local Government Area (LGA), remains underexplored.
Religious organizations in Gombe LGA play a significant role in social welfare, community development, and political activism. This study will explore the influence of constitutional law on the activities of religious organizations in Gombe LGA, particularly regarding freedom of religion, state interference, and their role in community mobilization. By understanding the interaction between constitutional law and religious organizations, the study aims to assess the legal frameworks that either enable or restrict their operations and contributions to society.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Although constitutional law guarantees the freedom of religion, religious organizations in Gombe LGA often face challenges related to government regulation, political interference, and social tensions. This study seeks to investigate how constitutional law influences the scope of religious organizations' activities and how they navigate legal frameworks that may either support or constrain their work in Gombe LGA.
