Bishops of the Dioceses of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican province in Kwara State have called on Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to follow the example of Governor ‘Seyi Makinde of Oyo State on policy of use of hijab in schools to ensure peace in the state.

The plea was made at the provincial council meeting of the church after condemning the recent fracas occasioned by non-admittance of hijab-wearing students into the premises of Oyun Baptist High School, Ijagbo, Oyun local government area of Kwara state.

Presided over by Archbishop of the Ecclesiastical Province of Kwara, the Most Reverend Israel Amoo, the church said that unconditional return of all Christian schools in the state to their original owners would bring a lasting solution to the problem which, it said is now assuming a terrifying and alarming magnitude.

The people, who commiserated with the families of the deceased person(s) and those injured during the incidence, prayed the good Lord to comfort and console them.

“We hereby refer Kwara State government to the policy adopted by Oyo State which guaranteed peace and harmonious coexistence, it is herein stated as follow:

“(i) In Muslim named/faith-based public schools, the usage/wearing of hijab as part of the school uniform is allowed in accordance with Islamic tradition/religious belief of student who may wish to do so.

“(ii) In Christian named/faith-based public schools, the student’s uniform should be in line with established tradition of the school and Christian religion.

“(iii) In Community based public schools the usage/wearing of a common hijab/beret by female students is permissible. This is however optional for parents/students who wish to do so.

“(iv) Under No circumstance or guise should any student/parents, group, or body contravene the provisions in paragraphs i, ii, and iii above. Any contravention of these provisions would attract appropriate disciplinary sanctions including immediate expulsion of affected students from school.”

“We further urge the Executive Governor of Kwara state, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to use his good offices to restore normalcy to schools in the state and reverse the order permitting

the use of hijab in Christian schools for the sake of peace and good neighbourliness.”

Muslims are trouble makers, if not why wear hijab to a Christian school,

They can't send their children to islamiya schools but they will carry their ward to Baptist secondary school where Jesus is the king and start causing problems.
Go to Islamiya school and practice your religion there and no one will disturb you.

I don't see why the buzz, at least who want to wear can do it. I don't know why Muslim and christians are always at each others throat

Rubbish


CAN took the hijab matter to Court, they lost woefully in both the high court and the appeal court.



Government run those schools from the taxes collected from citizens, including Muslims. Nobody will deny our girls their fundamental right to wear hijab at all time.




CAN should sue the government and get their schools back, after which they can allow children to wear pants and bra to school.




Failure to comply with the Court judgement will be terrible. Those schools will remain shut forever.




I AM DONE TALKING

Jesus is not king in a school funded by the government. The Constitution of the federal republic of NIGERIA is the king, and it has granted the permission to wear hijab in all public schools.

bla bla bla. Many of you can't reason beyond your sentiment. This school has rules and regulations and then children of ismael will just come and say they want to change it because government funds the school. Who is funding the Islamiya school? Can you allow Christian come to islamiya school and be speaking in tongues and shouting Jesus is king?

go to islmiya school? Are you tired of your own school? Must you school your ward in a Christian school? Are we not infidels? Why must an infidel teach your ward? Stop being a fake muslim

Muslims, obviously, are generally troublemakers and because the governors of Osun and Kwara are Muslims, they are bowing to pressures from adherents. The constitution of the country also has a lot problems while the courts are controlled by the government. This is a very simple case, one that doesn't require any stress: Muslim adherents who wish to practise their religious beliefs beyond their mosques and homes should send their children to Islamic faith -based schools while Christian parents who also want to practise their religious beliefs should send their children to Christian faith-based schools!
