Outrage as Muslim Students Ordered to Remove Hijab at Ibadan UTME Centre

Concerns are rising after Muslim candidates were asked to remove their hijab before entering the Esther Oshikoya CBT Centre in Ibadan for their UTME on April 16. Videos shared online show an official instructing a candidate to take off her headscarf. Observers say this contradicts JAMB guidelines and infringes on freedom of religion. The nationwide UTME runs from April 16 to 25 with over 2.2 million candidates. Neither JAMB nor the centre’s management has commented on the allegation yet.
