KWSG reaffirms use of hijab in public schools
The State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa'adatu Madibbo Kawu, made this known during a peaceful meeting between Muslim and Christian stakeholders in Ijagbo, Oyun local government area, held at the Ministry Headquarters, Ilorin on Monday.
