MCAN ALIGNS WITH MURIC AND NYSC TO CLEAR THE BAN OF HIJAB SAGA

It’s no news again that the Ban of Hijab published and aired by several media houses has caused tension in the country. We use this medium to inform the Ummah that MCAN alongside other Islamic organizations is on top of the matter.

In line with this, MCAN contacted the major media houses who aired the misleading news to withdraw it without any hesitation, of which most of them complied. (This can be verified through search engines and online platforms of the media houses). Conversely, MCAN executives also met with the Director of NYSC PR unit; Mrs Bose Aderibigbe yesterday (Thursday, 26th of November, 2015 corresponsing to the 14th of Safar, 1437AH) to inform her about the havoc caused by the media in the country with the purported news of “BAN of HIJAB” and as such, We advised NYSC to come out openly to clear the propaganda and in shaa Allah they agreed

Based on this, we therefore inform the general Public that the new Development concerning the permissibility of Hijab in NYSC has extended the usage to as long as the knee level and of course three quarter trousers which hitherto are not obtainable in the NYSC Scheme. This was the consensus reached with the DG of NYSC. However, this shall remain the Status quo amid the security challenges facing the country. Consequently, NYSC pleaded that Hijab as long as the feet or ankle level should not be used in orientation camps pending the time the security problems will come to a standstill. The DG also assured us that a directive will be issued to all his subordinates as regards the issue. (White Hijab as long as the knee level with three quarter trousers). This is the agreement between MCAN and NYSC as at the last time we met with the DG (Tuesday, 24th of November, 2015 which corresponds to the 12th of Safar, 1437AH).

On that note, we use this medium to inform the ummah that MCAN is working with all the numerous Muslim organizations in the country, especially MURIC, through our highly respected Professor Akintola who has been contacted, Hence MCAN and MURIC alongside other Islamic bodies are on course as regards the issue. Kindly disregard all the misleading and false information from the fourth Branch of Government.

Lastly, We sincerely appeal to the generality of the Ummah to always get first-hand information from MCAN regarding Muslim corps members’ affairs. Once again, we enjoin all media houses to deploy investigative journalism before passing out information, as passing of wrong information can turn the country into a total mess and dismay. We also use this medium to call the attention of the Ministry of Information to control the flow of unprofessional and misleading News.

Special Appreciations to;
The NYSC Director General : Brigadier General Johnson Olawunmi, NSCIA , MSSN, The Muslim Youth League in Da’awah, MURIC, FOMWAN, CRITERION, Our Lawyers, Activists, Other Islamic Bodies Individuals and Sisters’ Organisations who showed support through Calls , messages and media campaigns.
