The Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit, has warned President Muhammad Buhari not to attempt or consider any ban on Hijab.
The Amir (President) of MSSN LSAU, Mallam Saheed Ashafa, said this at the on-going December Islamic Vacation Course, holding at Epe, Lagos, on Wednesday.
The group said such a consideration would ridicule the war against Boko Haram, adding that it was an unnecessary approach.
According to Ashafa, a ban on hijab means that Boko Haram has succeeded in their deceptive ideology and may strengthen their unjustifiable zeal to kill innocent souls.
It would be recalled that during the maiden Presidential Chat, late on Wednesday, Buhari said that the federal government may consider a ban on hijab, if terrorists continue to use it to perpetuate evil.
Ashafa said that "The statement by President Buhari is disappointing. It is an indication that the present administration is trying to apply the faulty approach of the last administration that took us nowhere. A ban on hijab is wrong, bias and the greatest that can drown the support and popularity of the Buhari administration.
"The decision to ban hijab may mean that Boko Haram has succeeded in their mission. Rather than ban hijab, the government can acquire bomb detective gadgets which can detect bombs from afar. Instead of considering how to stop Hijab, the federal government should be thinking of how to stop Boko Haram."
FRSC elevates 607 officers
The FRSC has elevated 607 officers to between the ranks of Deputy Chief Marshals and Road Marshal Assistant II as a follow up to the recent promotion exercise.
A statement issued on Thursday, in Abuja, by the Commission's Head of Media Relations and Strategy, Mr. Bisi Kazeem, said that the promotion was a follow up to the recent one involving 442 officers on Inspector cadre.
"The management has promoted additional 607 Road Marshals to their next ranks in the service: Four hundred and thirty one (431) Deputy Chief Road Marshals Assistants were promoted to Chief Road Marshal Assistants, while 105 Senior Road Marshal Assistants were promoted to Deputy Chief Road Marshal Assistants.
"Similarly, 60 Road Marshal Assistant I have now been promoted to the rank of Senior Road Marshal Assistant, while 11 officers on the rank of Road Marshal Assistant II were elevated to Road Marshal Assistant,'' the statement said.
It said that the Corps Marshal, Mr. Boboye Oyeyemi, urged the Marshals and other recently promoted personnel to handle the responsibilities that had come with their new ranks effectively.
He also charged every personnel of the body to key into the vision of the Corps Marshal, adding that this was to reduce road accidents to an appreciable level.
