The Deputy Governor acknowledged receipt of various letters sent to her by Hijab Rights Advocacy Initiative; Muslim Students Society of Nigeria and Muslim Forum of Isolo over the contentious issue and assured that their grievances are being looked into.
She disclosed that a meeting was held with Muslim Groups and the Tutor General/Permanent Secretary of Education District VI, Mrs. Olufunmilayo Onadipe last week while she has directed that a wider meeting of all stakeholders be held, where all issues are expected to be resolved.Adebule, therefore, called for understanding on the part of all Muslims in the State, assured that the matter will be resolved soonest and expressed gratitude to all parties for the maturity in handling the matter as the peace enjoyed in the State matters greatly to the government.
