AREGBESOLA BLASTS STUDENTS WHO WORE CHURCH GARMENT TO SCHOOL, SAYS WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS NOT GOOD FOR THE GANDER

On Tuesday, some students of Iwo Baptist High School caused quite a scene when they came to school wearing church robes. This was as a result of the Osun State Christian Association of Nigeria, who stated that all Christian students in public schools in the state should wear their church garments to schools, in response to a court ruling allowing Muslim female students to wear veils (hijab) to schools.



At the commissioning of St Micheal’s Government Middle School, Ibokun, Gov. Rauf Aregbesola reacted to the situation by saying students who wore unauthorised cloths to any public schools in the state would be expelled. He believes it is wrong and criminal for a section or group of people to have directed some innocent students to wear choir robes to schools against court’s judgment.

He urged those not satisfied with the judgment to direct their complaints via legitimate means rather than trying to cause crisis by taking laws into their own hands. Aregbesola also stated that the government is not interested in any religion as was earlier implied and his goal is to improve the standard of education in the state.
