Council Accuses Jonathan Of Cleansing Muslims From Army, Govt by Donmams(m): 7:45am On Nov 19, 2013 |
The Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has accused President Goodluck Jonathan administration of marginalising Muslims in key appointments in institutions and engaging in systematic cleansing of Muslims from key positions of authority. This is contained in a communiqué of the expanded General Purpose Committee (GPC) meeting of the council held last Wednesday in Abuja. “The NSCIA is concerned over the disturbing trend of marginalising Muslims in key appointments in Federal Government institutions. Data available to the Council indicates a systematic cleansing of Muslims from key positions of authority. This is dangerous for a nation which should encourage harmony and unity based on equity, justice and respect for diversity and pluralism,” it said. “Council also notes that admission into key military institutions such as Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) and patterns of recruitment into police and other security agencies do not show sensitivity to balance and social indices such as faith. Muslims who are qualified should be admitted and trained on a scale that shows respect for a multi-religious nation such as Nigeria.” The communiqué was signed by Muhammad K. Qasim, the acting Director of Publicity. On the raging controversy on the usage of Hijab by Muslim female students and workers, the council said, “The Constitution guarantees to every Nigerian the freedom of worship and religious practice. Appropriate Muslim dressing for women in all public engagements and outings is a mandatory requirement for Muslims. Governments and other institutions which deny Muslim females their right to dress appropriately such as wearing of hijab with uniforms are therefore in violation of the rights of the Nigerian Muslims. “Council calls on the Federal and State Governments and all other private and public institutions to stop the policy of depriving Muslim women of their rights to dress in accordance with the demands of their faith.” While noting that President Goodluck Jonathan has welcomed the recommendation of the Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North that the Federal Government should set up mechanism for providing appropriate relief to all victims of the Boko Haram insurgency, the council urges the President to expedite action towards establishing such a mechanism so that the much-needed relief can be made available to all those who deserve it. The council also noted that the National Educational Research and Development Council’s (NERDC’s) new curriculum from primary to secondary school which has deprived young Nigerians of their rights to receive full and mandatory religious education is a major failing by all governments and is unacceptable. It urged that children must be availed full opportunities to receive religious instruction and training until at least the end of Senior Secondary School. “The new curriculum which relegates Islamic Studies/ Christian Religious Studies (IS/CRS) to a part of a subject (up to Junior Secondary School) and which made the subjects optional at the Senior Secondary level be reversed so that the two are made independent, core and compulsory up to the Senior Secondary level,” it said.

Since muslems have dominated all the federal govt institutions including the military and this selfish organisation did nt speak of cheating against the christians. Bunch of trash 50 Likes 1 Share |

king of pool: Fools that always cause division between peace loving people in this countryu seems the only sensible person who sees the danger in the report, most of the comments above are just dumb!! In a way, some are trying to say, 'its time for christians to rule cos the muslims have ruled'...some even went more dumb as posting evidence! But the truth is: this kind of propaganda is not healthy for a nation with two major religion where one is seriously knwn to be too primitive and easy provoked to violence! What i'm trying to say here is: this kind of accusation shld be smashed and killed before it become a religion where people bilvd the trash because its not even true that muslims are being sidelined. And as much as it may be true and make sense to sideline the muslims in the army because more muslim in the it means more boko haram sympathizers, we still shld kill this type of report and say 'it is not true' instead of saying, 'so what? U've had ur time, let's av ours'! That's a more smarter way to play politics! 29 Likes |

Just what The Army needed to tackle boko haram. After victory the imbalance can then be corrected. How can one win the enemy without while the spy within is being entertained? The council should take note that religion is not Nigeria's problem rather it is the fundamental orifice of our woes! Stop dragging religion into state affairs. Religion is a plat form for division.We are Nigerians not Muslims, Christians, or traditionalist! 7 Likes |

Inspite of the fact that they are still very much in the corridors of power, federal civil service, police and all other places that depend on federal character and not merit to be promoted. If you like full the army with Northerners as long as a Southerner is President, they will not be happy. Check this 21 Likes

Bunch of trash Funny but that's what has been before now. Why do you think the Northern Christians and MB is aligning more with GEJ? OBJ is to be commended for the work he did, weakening the hold of Northern Muslims over Nigerian institutions. There is more to be done. Go to Customs, Immigration, NNPC and many other key institutions, you'll be amazed if Hausa/Fulani muslims are 90% of our population! 11 Likes |
