Hijab: Violence, resistance mars reopening of Kwara grant-aided schools

Hijab: Violence, resistance mars reopening of Kwara grant-aided schools
March 17, 2021
Violence and resistance on Wednesday marred the reopening of the 10 grant-aided missionary schools earlier closed down by the Government over the use of Hijab.
Newsmen recall that the schools were closed on Feb. 19 over misunderstanding in the usage of Hijab (Islamic female veil) in public schools.
The government set up a committee to resolve the dispute and later asked the schools to resume on March 8 with willing female students allowed to use the Hijab.
The government, however, rescinded its decision to reopen the schools over safety concerns as some christians were averse to the decision.
