“There is no such plan. The government will not deny Muslim sisters the use of the hijab.” But Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu said people have given different meanings to what President Muhammadu said on the issue of hijab during the last media chat.
Adamu assured Muslim women that hijab has come to stay because according to him, it was a directive from God for women to wear hijab at all times.
