From that religion again. These Muslim women are so subjected. Under this heat they still wear hijab. If God wanted us to use it, we would have been born like that.

JAMB gradually becoming exam for only Christians – MSSN Lagos‎
 
There are strong indications that the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) organised by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is gradually becoming exclusive for Christians, the Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit (MSSN Lagos) has alleged.
 
The group made the allegation following recent harassment and delay of Muslim candidates wearing Hijab before accessing some examination centers for the JAMB Computer Based Test (CBT) Examination in Lagos.
 
MSSN Lagos noted that it already visited two centres - Shoms International School and Daleware Institute of Technology in Lagos – due to the worrisome attitude of some JAMB officers, who expressed discriminatory act against female Muslim candidates on Hijab.
 
After visiting the centers, Amir (President) of MSSN Lagos, Mallam Saheed Ashafa, described the harassments of the female Muslim students as a strategy to allow candidates from other religion outshine Muslims’.
 
Ashafa explained that JAMB breached the constitution of Nigeria, which guaranteed fundamental human right of religion by denying female Muslim candidates from taking the examination.
 
He said, “There is no gain saying that JAMB is still a neutral body. Recent actions embarked upon by some officers of the body strongly indicate that JAMB-UTME is trending towards becoming an examination for only Christians. If not, why are JAMB officials refusing female Muslims from entering examination centers because they put on Hijab? Why did JAMB fix examination at a time ‎when Muslims were supposed to be observing their Jumaat?
 
"Examination bodies should stop tampering on the rights of Muslim students. While it is Muslims wish to participate in examinations, in the process we do not want our rights to freedom of religion to be trampled upon. JAMB cannot claim ignorance of the fact that Muslims observe their Jumaat prayer between 1pm and 3pm on Fridays.  
 
“JAMB should be reminded that the use of Hijab by the female Muslim students is a constitutional right which has been unequivocally affirmed and guaranteed by the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended and international instruments which Nigeria is a party to. We hope that this will stop without chaos.
 
"JAMB can only claim neutrality by stopping the refusal and delay of female Muslim candidates on Hijab from gaining entrance without stress like other students. We are not asking the examination body to infringe on other peoples religious rights but the JAMB must know clearly that the same reason why it cannot fix examination on Sunday (24 hours) and allow people to expose their unclothedness makes it un-ideal for it to fix examination during Jumaat time (two hours) and stop those coving their unclothedness with Hijab.
 
“As if that was not enough, JAMB also exposed candidates to danger in the name of writing examination by fixing examination for 6.30am, a time when Muslims will just be completing their morning salat (prayer). All these must be for an ulterior reason, part of which may be to make Muslim students not to perform well in the examination. We appeal to the JAMB authorities to put a stop to this before it degenerate into crisis.”

Thorough searching of the hijabians sister is cool. But, delaying or refusing to allow them in, because they are putting on Hijab is totally unacceptable.
Moreover, why should an exam be fixed during jummat time? More like, there should also be an exam on Sunday Morning!

Prejudice apart, The Examination regulatory Bodies should create a level play field for Religious place.

So you do not write WAEC/NECO or attend job interviews on Fridays? You all know how people lost their precious life trying to keep the sanctity of hijab in the country. Are you so insensitive or you care more for hijab than people's life? Friday is a full working day unless you want to constitutionally change that. Please stop all these propaganda with hijab! Life has no duplicate, life is precious!

One of the biggest problem in this world is religion. Can u imagine the accusations undecided. So Jamb improving their mode of operation, reducing malpractice and securing candidate's life has now become headache to a religious group. undecided undecided


I agree with the 1st sentence, and let me state firstly that I am not a muslim but why is JaMB fixing exams for 6.30 am and secondly in a country where we know no civil service office functions any friday afternoon because of muslim prayers, why are they fixing exams for Friday afternoon? Islam is not a minority religion in this country, so they must be accommodated.

We all think the problem of Nigeria is corruption. NO, Not at all, the problem of this country is RELIGION. The struggle between ISLAM and CHRISTIANITY for SUPREMACY has destroyed every facet of our society. At the rate we are going Nigeria may never know development. I can now understand why the west and Americans are fighting religion in their society. We say we know God but we are morally bankrupt, while the white man we think do not know God have the heart of God.

Why can't you cool down look before you leap. The question is to put on hijab and sit for exams is a bad thing. To wear half naked clothes to exam hall is welcome. You can judge in between the two.

INEC conducted elections in my place on sunday morning during 2015 general election. How long does it take to write the exam? The number two point is not enough reason to protest.
