Similarly, the Ministry restates government’s position that any Muslim schoolgirl who desires to wear the hijab is allowed to do so in all public schools, including in Oyun Baptist High School Ijagbo, which is owned by the State Government and run with public resources.

The Ministry’s decision to reopen the school is one of the government’s multi-prong approaches to return normalcy to the school.

We could recall that the school has been shut down since February this year.

All stakeholders in the area are urged to give peace a chance and to respect the law. The government will not hesitate to shut the school again, among other things, if anything threatens the safety of the little children.
