The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps(NYSC) Brigadier-General, Johnson Olawumi, has said there will be no going back on the ban on hijabs worn by female corps members.
This is coming on the heels of a protest by some youth, under the aegis of Muslim Youths in Da’wah.
Speaking to the NYSC DG, representatives of the Muslim group said “Members of the NYSC are Nigerians who have contributed to the development of this country; female corps members deserve protection by the NYSC. We don’t believe that a female corps member putting on hijab has done any wrong against the Act establishing the NYSC. So they deserve the respect of the NYSC. We have travelled far and wide and visited different camps. Why are the rights of female corps members being infringed upon. We are here to register our displeasure.”
Responding to the youths, Olawunmi said “There have been cases where young girls put on hijab and eventually turn to suicide bombers. Boko Haram members know how to get at whoever they want as target. That is why we frown at the wearing of long hijab. Please call on all your Muslim youths to be patient and adhere to it, just for a short period during the camp. We frown at long hijab because of the security implication.”

gudt

he is playing with his job. nigeria is islamic with style

Nonsense!

Nice move. God bless the DG.
#iamspringtech.

Most of them are too dirty , the care not to change the hijab neither do the care to wash it, the use one hijab for a whole year. I believe its because of this smell the man say the should not wear it.

this can be another weapon use to distroy the masses again.

say no to wearing of hijab in public
let them wear inside mosque.

Ina lilahi waina ilehin rajiun May Almighty Allah come to the aid of all Muslima

If no other footwears save the jungle boots or white is allowed, no sunshades allowed, only white tops allowed, etc... all in the name of being uniform, then I see no reason why hijab shud be allowed, especially in orientation camps. That's d only place d law can be effected tho.

Muslims won't like this so expect a violent protest or a Bomb blast which our oga @ the top will condem and in his speech, he will call the bombers his misguided brothers and ask Nigerians to pray for them, also he will warn the Biafra agitators(terrorists according to him) to stop their nonsense because his government has zero tolerance for terrorism.

They should also protest so that Muslim women in the Nigerian Police Force, the Army, the Navy and the Air force be allowed to wear the Hijab! Muslims make up approximately 90 percent of the population of Senegal but it banned their women from wearing burqas for security reasons while these ones are protesting the ban which is just for a short period during the camp!

Hm mm;so hijab should be worn in NYSC camp? Is it that the hijab or the service to their country that is paramount?
The next protest will be to ask for hijab allowance. Foolish pple !!!

If bomb go off now they will blame the DG, now take precautions their protesting, nonse

Sorry, but can you logically disprove that islam is dangerous as a whole and isn't a political cult?

People need to be freed now, else it becomes too late.

Do you know that the penalty for leaving the "faith" of Islam is death in an ISLAMIC STATE?\

Angola has banned ISLAM and other countries that still have a chance should ban ISLAM for the sake of freedom in this world.

Alhaji Akintola will soon threaten to report him to his master-the sultan of sokoto.

One thing I was told about short people with low IQ is that they always find it difficult to comprehend what tall people are saying because what the Tall guys say flies over their heads and their brain is too dull and eyes too weak to read the movement of tall people's lips.

I used to think it was an offline thing.

Now I know better.

OUTCOME OF MEETING WITH NYSC DG OVER HARASSED CORPS MEMBER AND DECAMPED CAMP COMMANDANT

With respect to the case of a female Corps member who was harassed by Captain Abalaba in Benue State, the NYSC Director General (DG); Brigadier General Johnson Bamidele Olawunmi scheduled a meeting with the MCAN National Executives in Abuja to discuss the issue in detail.

In the meeting, the DG sincerely apologised to the female Corps member who was harassed and the entire Muslim family within and outside the country. He added that the action of the ex-CC and likes is highly condemnable if done to anyone, irrespective of their religious, ethnic or tribal background. He reemphasised his displeasure over the action of the ex-Benue State Camp Commandant (CC); Captain Abalaba, who was immediately decamped as directed by the DG. He further stated that a committee has been set up to fully investigate the issue, afterwards the ex-CC shall face further punishment and as such he would have nothing to do with NYSC subsequently.

He also assured MCAN that a committee will be set up as soon as possible to provide a long lasting solution to the Molestation and Harassment of Corps members on religious grounds. The said committee will include at least an MCAN executive to guide NYSC on the issue at hand. As a caring father, he showed a positive interest towards supporting MCAN in achieving a better Nigeria and peaceful youth coexistence within the country irrespective of any differences

The president of the association; Abdullah Imam Ishaq presented some gift items to the DG on behalf of the entire Muslim Corps Members in the country.



We advise all Corps Members to be respectful, obedient, tolerant, prayerful and above all, report any provoking issue(s) to the rightful bodies in order to prevent any form of regrettable violence.



We appreciate the level of orderliness exhibited by corps members and Nigerians in regards to the issue at hand.

Thank you all



Special Appreciation to :

Almighty ALLAH

NYSC Director General,
All the Numerous Muslim and Non-Muslim Organisations that showed love,
Prominent figures and individuals who equally called to show support,
And those who acted without our awareness.
