How We Rescued Hijab Wearing Muslim Students Barred From Oyedepo’s University – JAMB
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Abuja – The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has explained how it came to the aid of some hijab wearing female students when they were prevented from sitting for the Mock UTME examination at Covenant University, Otta, Ogun State.

It was reported that the students were prevented from gaining entrance into the premises of the university owned by Bishop David Oyedepo, Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, for putting on Hijab as demanded on them by Islamic religion.

Gatemen at the entrance of the university, who claimed to be acting on instruction from the above prevented the students.

However, JAMB, in a bulletin said it swiftly moved in immediately its attention was drawn to the ugly development.

“The attention of the University was promptly drawn to this development, and a vehement denial of authorizing its security personnel to prevent any genuine candidates from entering the institution was issued.

“According to the University, no such authority was given to that effect and it decried the attendant embarrassment the incident had caused to the institution.

“It was, therefore, against this backdrop that upon learning of the the University along with its CBT Centre officials, had rushed to the gate to rescue the unfortunate situation and ensure that the candidates take their examination.

“Regrettably, the unwarranted delay prevented the affected candidates from meeting the time for the examination,” the bulletin read.

JAMB aplogised to the affected students , assuring them of another opportunity to sit for the rescheduled exam.

“It should be noted that the Board, as an equal opportunity organization, would never condone any scintilla of discrimination against any entity or person.

“The general public is, therefore, given all necessary assurances that the Board would put necessary machinery in motion to ensure that such an incident does not reoccur in future,” the body pledged. (vitalnewsngr.com)
