The Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development wishes to inform members of the public that the 10 government schools where the use of hijaab is disputed will remain shut until a later date.

This decision has been taken for safety reasons, ROYAL NEWS reports.

A statement by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, listed the schools to include C&S College Sabo Oke, ST. Anthony College, Offa Road, ECWA School, Oja Iya, Surulere Baptist Secondary School, Bishop Smith Secondary School, Agba Dam, CAC Secondary School Asa Dam road, St. Barnabas Secondary School Sabo Oke, St. John School Maraba, St. Williams Secondary School Taiwo Isale, and St. James Secondary School Maraba.

“The government therefore directs schoolchildren and teachers in the affected schools to remain at home until the contrary is announced. The government remains committed to fairness, pluralism, and respect for the law and rights of every citizen at all times,” the statement said.

Notice how they all seem to be Christian schools. You'd think hijab stops the teachers from teaching the students! Do the teachers not understand that the mind is more important than the dress?

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

Islamic schools in the state which are also now public schools do not allow CRK to be taught in their schools neither do they allow students to congregate for prayers.

Whereas in the Christian schools, up until recently, muslims were allowed to be taught IRK and even congregate with place of worships carved out for them. I'm saying this because I know so.

If the state government is serious about what they want to do, take off the schools from both faiths fully and change their names and management or give them back to their original owners fully. You can't be placating the muslims by giving them free hand to make their own fully autonomous decisions and be telling the Christians to follow your own directives.

Christians in Kwara state are not in anyway a minority. Stop treating them like they are strangers.
