“The Kwara State Government ought to change the names of all schools previously claimed by both the Muslim and Christian owners by adding’ Government’ into them, e.g, Ansarul Islam Government Secondary School, Ilorin, Bishop Smith Memorial Government College, Ilorin,” the local area expressed in the letter.
The Muslim body additionally requested satisfactory pay for the group of the late Habeeb Idris purportedly killed on February 3, 2022, during the hijab emergency that shook Oyun Baptist High School, Ijagbo in Oyun Local Government Area of the state.
Different requests of the Muslim people group as expressed in the letter are that “The Kwara State Government should fabricate another school mosque for Muslim understudies/educators of Bishop Smith Memorial College, Ilorin to supplant the one wrecked.
The Kwara State Government should authorize opportunity of love in our schools by guaranteeing that different dedications are held for Muslim and Christian understudies at the school gathering, and no outer Imam or Pastor ought to be permitted to take part in morning commitment beside the teachers.
“The Kwara State Government ought to guarantee, consequently, that arrangements and postings of directors into all schools ought to be founded on legitimacy and status and ought to be the sole liability of the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission rather than previous owners as it is being done at this point.”
