About CNNC
The Congress of Northern Nigeria Christians (CNNC) was inaugurated on November 11, 2017, in Kaduna, Nigeria, under the distinguished chairmanship of General Yakubu Gowon (GCFR).

With our headquarters in Kaduna, CNNC provides a platform for dialogue, collective action, and the promotion of peace and unity among Christians in Northern Nigeria.

Our Anthem
“Stand Up for Jesus” — SS&S 680
Verse 1
Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the Cross;
Lift high His royal banner;
it must not suffer loss;
From victory unto victory,
His army shall He lead;
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Verse 2
Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you;
Ye dare not trust your own;
Put on the gospel armour,
And watching unto prayer;
Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there.
