They will live and interact in the world outside their schools, where no boundary exists between the religions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The minister appealed to traditional, religious, and community leaders to use their offices to douse tension and ensure peace, harmony, and tolerance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI call on parents and our school teachers to ensure that in both words and actions, they present the best model to our children to emulate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Ishaq Akintola, the guest lecturer at the event, said hijab was a vehicle of unification, both nationally and internationally, adding that it helps Muslim women to identify themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Akintola also said hijab was a symbol of social justice, freedom and equal rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHijab is a key to morality. A hijab-wearing woman is 24 hours conscious of her responsibility. That a woman puts on her hijab is a sign of a responsible woman ready to build the nation,\u201d Akintola said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you discriminate against a single woman, you are discriminating against the entire nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recall that last Thursday, the controversy over the use of hijab in schools had led to a clash in Oyun Baptist High School, Ijagbo, Oyun LGA of Kwara.<\/p>\n<p>Some Muslim parents had protested against how their children were turned away from school for wearing hijab.<\/p>\n<p>But the protest turned violent and many persons were injured.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the state government ordered the closure of the school over the refusal of the management to allow female Muslim students use hijab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of education, Adamu Adamu has disclosed that Nigerian constitution allows Muslims to practice their faith according to the dictates of their religion.
