Approval of Hijab: A Tactless and dangerous move.

A Christian Human rights group, Nigerian Christian Youth frontiers, (NCYF),have waded into the Hijab imbroglio, currently rocking Kwara state.calling for caution and restraint on the part of the State government in it's tactless approach to this sensitive issue.

It will be recalled that the State government in a rather Bizzare move recently approved the Use of Hijab,in Christian Mission schools throughout the state.

The group in a meeting held in It's headquarters on Saturday the 6th of March 2021, urged the state government to suspend it's purpoted approval of the use of Hijab in Christian Mission schools and adopt other modern, Holistic approach to putting an end to the controversy. The group warned that Christians will not be cowed into Submission neither will it allow it's heritage supplanted by Acrobatic religious Fanatism.

" Unarguably,the proprietors of this schools had an intention for Setting up these citadel's of learning,which is to promote both Christian and Academic virtues,in Character and learning, with well documented policy statements based on core and strict Christian principles. It beats our imagination that the State government under the leadership of Governor Abdulrasak will throw all caution to the wind and succumb to Blackmail by those who don't mean well for the state. The group demands a reverse to the status quo with urgent alacrity in order to avoid an impending crisis. The state government should as a matter of urgency convene a Meeting of all Stakeholders, including the Proprietors of thess Grant Aided Christian Mission schools in order to amicably resolve this standoff that has a potential to escalate tensions if not carefully handled".
