Punch Newspapers Sections Tunde Oyekola, Ilorin The Christian Association of Nigeria in Kwara State has insisted that it will not allow its pupils to wear hijab, despite the Kwara State Government’s directive that Muslim female pupils in Christian mission schools should wear hijab. The state government, last week, said it had approved wearing of hijab by Muslim female pupils in Christian mission grant-aided schools in the state. It also said the 10 Christian mission schools closed down in the wake of the hijab crisis would be reopened on Monday, March 8. However, the state branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria said it would not agree to the use of hijab in schools established by Christian missions, alleging that they were surprised that the government was trying to make a decision on a matter that was still before the Supreme Court.
