This comes after the former Governor of Lagos, Babatunde Fashola had banned the use of hijab in all Lagos public schools, forcing the muslim community to sue the state government over the issue.
During a courtesy visit on the Lagos Commissioner for Home Affairs, Dr. Abdullateef Abdulkareem on Tuesday, they pleaded for a reserve of the order.
Coordinator, CIO, Alhaji Abdullahi Shuaib said one of the thing they demanded from Ambode before he became governor was to protect religious freedom, saying that all over the world, muslim women were distinct because of hijab they normally wore.
He said when hijab was outlawed in Lagos school, the freedom of the female Muslims was breached, saying that it was as if government was at war with the Muslim community.
“This issue is very critical and the Lagos State Government should look at it critically. Muslims have ways of life which cannot be taken away from them, which is to use hijab,” he said, adding that even in advanced countries, Muslims were not restricted from using hijab.He appealed to the commissioner to prevail on the governor to allow Muslim girls wear hijab to school.
Speaking, Abdulhakeem said he would present their demands to the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

DeleteHmmmmmmm
DeleteWhats Hmmm? na true na
DeleteHijab to school doesnt feel right. The aim of the uniform will be defeated, and with security challenges...... But again, what do i know
ReplyDeleteI don't think its right for the government to stop them from wearing their hijab. If there's the freedom of religion in this country, then they should be allowed to practice whatever ways their religion permits. Its just wrong.

If Fashola who is a Muslim banned hijab. They need to understand that it's for everyone's good. This is not about Religion freedom, it's more about security.

ReplyDeleteoga ambode pls don't cede to this request for security reasons
ReplyDeleteWhy do I have a feeling dat most of these girls will be happy about dis development
ReplyDeleteIf Ambode allows these pple to start parading around like Masquerades then Lagos isn't safe again. Fashola has banned it so let the ban remain.They can practice their religion without looking like clowns. Ambode ignore this ridiculous and clueless request.They can go and school in the North.Rubbish
