Lagos State Government says it has not banned the use of Hijab in public schools. It said rather, the issue was still being looked into with a view to taking a stand on it.
In a statement on Monday by the
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Lateef Ibirogba, the
government said it was still making wide consultations on the issue.
Ibirogba added that the government would
come up with a position after exhausting all the avenues that would
allow for a peaceful resolution of the matter.
He said;
“To avoid a needless heightening of tension, Lagosians, particularly the Muslim faithful, are advised not to allow people with diabolic intentions to trivialize the issue of sustaining the peaceful coexistence among diverse groups in the state.“Contrary to reports, government was still meeting with the stakeholders on the issue as explained by the Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, and has, thus, not banned or disallowed Hijab in public schools.“What Olayinka explained at the briefing was that the government had held meetings with some key stakeholders and would still consult widely before taking a position.”
