Mssn demands adherence to court ruling on hijab in public schools
It seems like you're referring to a recent development in Nigeria. Here's a summary:
The Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria (MSSN) has called on the Lagos State Government to ensure that its public schools adhere to a court ruling that allows Muslim female students to wear hijab (headscarf) in schools.
In 2020, the Lagos State High Court ruled that Muslim female students have the right to wear hijab in public schools, citing the Nigerian Constitution's provision for freedom of religion. However, some schools have allegedly refused to comply with the ruling, leading to protests and complaints from Muslim students and parents.
The MSSN has now demanded that the government take concrete steps to ensure that all public schools in the state respect the court's decision and allow Muslim female students to wear hijab. The organization has also threatened to take further action if the government fails to address the issue.
This development highlights the ongoing debate around religious freedom and the rights of Muslim students in Nigeria. It's essential for the government to ensure that all students, regardless of their religious beliefs, are treated equally and have access to quality education.
