World Hijab Day goes virtual as Nigerian Muslim Coalition stages 2-day event, with theme, #EndHijabophobia

A Coalition of Muslim organisations in Nigeria have concluded plans to hold one of the biggest religious gatherings of 2021, World Hijab Day (WHD).

Unlike previous years, the 2021 edition with the theme, #EndHijabophobia will be held virtually on Sunday and Monday, January 31 and February 1 respectively.

Muslim News findings revealed that the organisers — about 13 Muslim bodies who form the Coalition, have decided to replace the usual in-person event with an all virtual set of activities in keeping the protocols of preventing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The long awaited events, which commence at 10am on both days, would be streamed live on various social media platforms.
