I Didn’t Order Use Of Hijab In Schools – Aregbesola by shaddoww: 7:01am On Jun 21, 2016
The Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola,
has denied claims that he is behind the hijab
crisis rocking the education sector in the state.
“Let me say this there is no official
pronouncement on hijab. I have not ordered the
use of hijab in schools and I challenge them to
bring evidence,” Aregbesola said during a
roundtable on developing collaborative framework
for education organised by the Development and
Advancement in Western Nigeria.
“It might interest you that my wife does not use
hijab, my daughter does not use hijab. So, I did
not order the use of hijab.
“My view on Islam is why I am suffering
unmerited persecution. My crime is that I
struggle to be a good Muslim and not because I
hurt anybody.”
The governor insisted that there was no crisis in
the state’s education sector and accused the
media of celebrating idiocy by focusing on the
decision of some “misguided students” of Baptist
High School to wear church garments to school.
He said it was wrong for any religious body to
claim the ownership of any public school in the
state as government took over the schools about
41 years ago.
The governor also said it was not true that
schools founded by Muslim were merged with
schools established by Christian missionaries.
He explained that the hijab crisis started in 2012
when four Muslim students were prevented from
using hijab after they were transferred to Baptist
High School from a school where they were
allowed to use hijab.
Meanwhile, some Muslim clerics stormed some
public schools in Osogbo on Monday, insisting
that female Muslim students should be allowed
to wear hijab to the schools in accordance with
the judgment of the Osun State High Court.
It was gathered that the clerics went to St.
Charles’ High School and Ife Oluwa Middle
School early in the morning but the teachers told
them it would take a directive from the Ministry
of Education for that to happen.
“Some Muslims came this morning and said they
wanted to enforce the use of hijab. We explained
to them that we will allow our students to wear
hijab whenever we get instruction from the state
government to do so,” the Principal of St.
Charles’ High School, Mr. Anthony Famoriyo,
said.
“You know that everything we do in schools
follows procedure; what you teach, the way you
teach. We are not against any group. We are
here to teach our children and that is our
mission.”
