An Islamic group in Lagos has accused the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of avoiding Muslims in appointments.

 
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) says many qualified Muslim teachers on grade level 17 are still marking time when they should have been appointed principals.

 
It appealed to the Lagos State government (LASG) to revisit the education sector, with a view to correcting the glaring lop-sidedness in the appointment of tutor-generals and school principals.


The Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, made the appeal in a statement on Tuesday.

 Akintola says: “Lagos State has been divided into six education districts since the days of Chief Bola Tinubu. Each education district has a tutor general/permanent secretary saddled with the responsibility of overseeing the activities of the schools and their personnel. Tinubu, a Muslim, ensured fairness by sharing the six posts 50:50 between Muslims and Christians.

Akinwunmi Ambode made it 4:2 in favour of Christians. The tricky game employed was to appoint some Muslims who have long converted to Christianity but who retained their Muslim names. It would then appear as if Muslims were appointed yet they were cleverly shortchanged.

Under Governor Babajide Sanwoolu today there is no single Muslim tutor-general. There is also an uneven distribution of heads of department in the six districts. There are five departments in each district with a head of department (HOD) directing its affairs. So there are thirty (30) HODs in all. These HODs are part of the management team. Unfortunately there are only five (5) Muslim HODs out of the thirty (30).

There are six hundred and sixty eight (668) principals in Lagos State public schools. Of this number, five hundred and sixty-five (565) are Christians while only one hundred and three (103) are Muslims.

This implies that Christian principals are 84.6% while Muslim principals are 15. 4%. Like in the case of tutor-generals, some principals who have long converted to Christianity but who retained their Muslim names were made principals while the real Muslims are left to rot in the system.

What is the implication of this imbalance? Firstly, tutor-generals influence the appointment of school principals but anybody can guess what will happen in a situation where all the tutor-generals are Christians.

Again, the use of hijab in public schools is largely determined by the disposition of school principals. Since the ratio is 84:15, it becomes clear why the majority of the school principals disallow the use of hijab in their schools despite a subsisting court judgement in favour of its use.

MURIC calls for the appointment of more Muslims as school principals. We lay emphasis on the appointment of real Muslims and not Muslims who have converted but retained their Muslim names.
 
This should not be difficult if the authorities consult leaders of the Muslim Teachers Association (MUTAN). We believe that our call is timely and it is more so particularly when the state government has recently invited applications into the position of TG/PS and it is poised to recruit more teachers.

The question of non-avalability of qualified Muslims does not arise because Lagos is replete with hundreds of well qualified and competent Muslims who are yearning for the opportunity to exhibit their potentials. In addition, many Muslim teachers who are on grade level 17 appear to have been placed on redundancy as they are not appointed as principals or vice principals. Their list can easily be obtained from the leadership of MUTAN or that of the Lagos State Muslim Community.

There is also lop-sidedness in favour of Christians in the manner school assemblies are conducted. Most schools give Christians four days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) while Muslims have Friday alone. Some allow Muslims to use Thursday and Friday. For fairness, we suggest that Christians should be given two days (Monday and Tuesday), Muslims should also have two days (Thursday and Friday) while Wednesday should be left for Yoruba assembly.

Our appeal to the Lagos State government is to make the education sector a model of excellence in keeping with the status of Lagos as the centre of excellence. Lagos has always been in the forefront of liberal policies, improved workers’ welfare, modernisation and other forms of human progress.

This is not praise-singing. The records are there for all to applaud Lagos. Apart from Enugu in 1980, Lagos was one of the first states to establish a state university (1984), the first to increase maternity leave to six months, the first to build an atlantic city (Eko Atlantic), the first to introduce local council development areas (LCDA) and many more pacesetting initiatives. Lagos leads, others follow.

Appointments: Islamic group thinks Gov. Sanwo-olu is avoiding Muslims

An Islamic group in Lagos has accused the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of avoiding Muslims in appointments.

 

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) says many qualified Muslim teachers on grade level 17 are still marking time when they should have been appointed principals.

 

It appealed to the Lagos State government (LASG) to revisit the education sector, with a view to correcting the glaring lop-sidedness in the appointment of tutor-generals and school principals.


The Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, made the appeal in a statement on Tuesday.

MURIC is known to have lodged certain complaints against some states in Nigeria concerning their treatment of Muslims. It will therefore be another ‘first’ and another feather in Lagos’ cap if the state’s education authorities address the issues raised above before others do so.

“We recall that the Lagos Muslim Community under the able leadership of Professor T.G.O. Gbadamosi and the Chief Imam of Lagos, His Eminence, Engr Sulaimon Oluwatoyin Abou Noula, raised some of these issues in the presence of the incumbent governor during the 2019 electoral campaigns. We honestly believe that it is high time they were addressed,” he stated.

Trouble maker at it again.
I hope the terrorist-fund suspect has been probed.

Religion poison everything it touches

This man gets a lot of attention on Nairaland

Tribalism and religion is what is killing this country, these are the tools used by selfish politicians to cause divide among the people in order for there be chaos which encourages looting.


But God pass una

This man is as ugly as whatever he represents.

This religion can't work in the Southwest and the mumuric terrorist leader knows it

No! There's no religious dichotomy in Yoruba land. We wine and dine together as one family.

Baba40:

allcomage :

this how religion tension starts. it is gradual thing

As if buhari favours christians over muslims during appointments....HYPOCRISY.

Who wouldn't?

You guys are BAD NEWS.

Who does this man think he is sef determining who is qualified and who is not

Nigeria needs to emancipate herself from MURIC VIRUS.

That prof dullard is just blathering.

As if his mission on earth is to constantly spew trash out of his gutter mouth

He is so annoying.

Something urgently needed to be done, this nonentity is creating a bigger problem for our future generations, can we afford to add more to our pains in Nigeria?

The same people that have been crying of marginalization by the Buhari government for five years would still condemn MURIC for demanding equity.


MURIC is an umbrella body for Muslim rights and they are just doing there job by standing up for Muslims.


Lagos Christians fought hard for Christian governor in 2015 and even I supported the call because it was the right call, but any time Muslims demand Justice and fairness, some Christians would begin to sing their favorite song: Terrorists, terrorists, terrorists.....

Tree ways of making a state free of terorism are;- {1} Avoid muslims {2} Always avoid muslims {3} try to avoid muslims by all means

yoruba muslims.

allcomage:
No! There's no religious dichotomy in Yoruba land. We wine and dine together as one family.

Hehehehehe! Sure this is an ironic quote.

yoruba muslims wahala.

We never appoint the qualified candidates; we qualify the appointed by force as far as they meet certain criteria

Mumuric is gradually achieving the aim of pitching Muslims against Christians in the South West. It is well.

The merits of these appointments should be totally based on academic/experience qualification, not religious background.

Individuals may convert from one religion to the other after appointment. What happens then?

The Christians which had Muslim background may have made the conversion some period after their appointment. In such a case, should their appointments be reviewed because of their faith which should be their personal concern? The same goes vice versa.

We need to face important issues to move forward. Emphasis on religion, tribe has kept Nigeria in this sorry state.

Aren't the people he is appointing lagosians ?

allcomage:
No! There's no religious dichotomy in Yoruba land. We wine and dine together as one family.

The early you stop his madness, the early better before he turn to something else...

Olominira:
Something urgently needed to be done, this nonentity is creating a bigger problem for our future generations, can we afford to add more to our pains in Nigeria?

THERES NO RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION IN THE SOUTH WEST, AFTER ALL, TINUBU AND FASHOLA BOTH MARRIED CHRISTIAN WOMEN.

SmartPolician:
This man gets a lot of attention on Nairaland

Exactly! There are elements on these forum aided by the moderators and Seun helping to propagate his divisive non-existent Christian agenda. If not so, stupid press release from this one-man, terrorism sympathetic group shouldn't be making the threads at all.

Do you think many of them are normal No!

Frustrated people.

Equity is what they want.

That's his opinion, better ignore him

This terrorist organization will yarn rubbish whenever it concerns southern governors but keep quiet when northern Muslim governors appoint only Muslims across all spheres. Muric should be proscribed ASAP, they’re a threat to our nation

Formularcr7:
Equity is what they want.

If equity is what they want, he (Prof.) Shouldn't turn himself to object of ridicule

TRUMPED UP ACCUSATION BY MURIC JUST TO CAUSE TROUBLE IN YORUBA LAND. MURIC IS FINANCED BY ISWA & BOKOHARAM.
