Muslim group celebrate lagos schools lift hijab ban
I couldn't find any information on a specific Muslim group celebrating a lift of a hijab ban in Lagos schools. However, I can provide some context and information on the topic.
In 2018, the Lagos State Government in Nigeria lifted a ban on hijabs in public schools, allowing Muslim students to wear the hijab to school. The decision was made after a court ruling in favor of a Muslim student who was banned from wearing her hijab to school.
The lifting of the ban was celebrated by many Muslim groups and individuals in Nigeria, who saw it as a victory for religious freedom and equality. The decision was also welcomed by many non-Muslim Nigerians, who saw it as a step towards greater religious tolerance and understanding.
Some Muslim groups that may have celebrated the lift of the hijab ban in Lagos schools include:
- The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), which is the umbrella body for Islamic organizations in Nigeria.
- The Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria (MSSN), which is a student organization that promotes Islamic values and education.
- The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), which is a human rights organization that advocates for the rights of Muslims and other marginalized groups.
It's worth noting that while the hijab ban was lifted in Lagos schools, there may still be some schools in Nigeria that do not allow students to wear the hijab. Additionally, there may be some individuals or groups that continue to oppose the wearing of hijabs in public schools.
