Oyo Gov reinstates Hijrah, Mawlidun Nabbiy holidays, says no govt policy prevents Muslim students from wearing Hijabs to School

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has reinstated the erstwhile cancelled Hijrah holiday and pledged that during his administration, Oyo State will celebrate the Mawlidun Nabiyy holiday (birth of Prophet Mohammed [SAW]) alongside the rest of the world.

Speaking earlier on Wednesday at the Mawlidun Nabiyy celebration held at the Government House Arcade, Agodi, Ibadan, the Governor said, “Last year, due to the pandemic and other issues, we were unable to celebrate the Mawlidun Nabiyy as expected.

“So, this year when the S.A Islamic Affairs reached out to me concerning the Mawlidun celebration, he proposed a big gathering and I agreed.

More guests….

“Now, we know what is right and I am pledging that from this day forward, we will hold the Mawlid celebration together with the whole world.”

”Also, by popular demand from the Muslim scholars including the Chief Imam and the people of Oyo State represented here (at the event), we are reinstating the Hijrah holiday.

“We will also observe Hijrah as a public holiday here in Oyo State.”

Guests at the event

Meanwhile, Gov Makinde debunked rumours that the government prevented Muslim girls from wearing hijabs in schools.

He said, “Some people have questioned why I didn’t allow girls to use hijabs in school. I am here to say that since I took over as the governor of the State, there has been no government policy that prevents girls from using hijabs.”

Finally, the governor called on residents of the state to contribute their quota to make sure that the peace and security committee that was recently inaugurated works effectively.

He said, “I want to urge everyone present here today to contribute their quota to make sure that the peace and security committee that was recently inaugurated which includes our religious, traditional and political leaders work effectively.

“Whenever a report gets to me from the committee, whatever is necessary and needed will be done.

“Don’t be afraid because the governor is doing everything to ensure the safety of every citizen and resident of Oyo State.

“Let’s cooperate with this administration to work towards the growth and development of the state.”
