CAN, in a statement signed by the General Secretary, CAN, Barr. Joseph Daramola, said it has accepted the apology of the company, urging other organisations to take caution when placing advertisements.

“We acknowledge the prompt response and sincerity of FrieslandCampina WAMCO in recognizing the insensitivity of their social media posts and taking necessary steps to make amends. As Christians, we believe in forgiveness, and we accept the apology of the company.
