The Kwara State Government has now reaffirmed its commitment to allowing Muslim schoolgirls in public schools across the state to wear hijabs if they choose.
The state’s commitment to that cause was restated by the State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa’adatu Madibbo Kawu during a peace meeting between Muslim and Christian stakeholders in Ijagbo, Oyun local government area, held at the Ministry Headquarters, Ilorin.
The statement has been deemed necessary in a bid to prevent further threats to peace in the state over the issue.
