Speaking with newsmen in Abeokuta last week, MSSN accused the examination body of fixing examinations at times when most Muslims should be praying.
According to the zonal coordinator of the group in the southern states, Alhaji Mushafau Alaran, the act takes Muslims for granted and disrespects Islam.
“It should be noted that Jumat prayer is an obligation that all Muslims must observe," Alaran said.

The affected subjects include Forestry 2 (Essay) scheduled for 1pm to 3pm on the 11th of October, Government 2 Essay scheduled for 1pm to 3pm on the 18th of October as well as Mathematics, Applied Electricity 2 and Applied Electricity 1.
Alaran called for an adjustment of the timetable and an apology from the body.
