LASG rejects Hijab in public schools



Lagos State Government says pupils in its public schools are only allowed to wear conventional uniforms to the school.
It added that usage of other appendages, including Hijab, a head scarf for Muslim women, would not be allowed.
The Commissioner for Education Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, said this on Tuesday at a press briefing in Ikeja, adding that usage of Hijab and other religious materials in public schools was against government’s policy.
The commissioner, who said the government was committed to overhauling the education sector, added that the...
administration had spent over N7bn in upgrading the Lagos State University, and also added that “Whoever wish that his daughter should be wearing Hijab while going to school and within the school should send such child to a private Muslim school,”
