No Ban On Hijab By Muslim Women – Presidency by Hybrid600: 9:01pm On Jan 01, 2016 |
The Presidency has dismissed the insinuations that the Federal
Government had banned the use of Hijab, the Muslim women’s
dressing symbol of modesty.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President,
Malam Garba Shehu.
Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on the
issue during last Wednesday’s Presidential Media Chat, Shehu said
that the speculations were unfounded.
He said that the Buhari-led Federal Government would always
respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow
religious freedom.
Shehu said that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry
out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violated the
teachings of Islam.
He, however, said that Buhari would not take any decision on the
issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.
He said that the government would address the security challenge
in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a
workable solution.
“Everything will be done to balance national security requirements
with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as
protected by the constitution,’’ he said. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/no-ban-on-hijab-by-muslim-women-presidency/ |
