The University College (UCH), Ibadan has approved the wearing of Hijab for its nursing students.
This approval, Fidelis Chidi Blog learnt Friday evening, came after the
Minister of Health, Professor Isacc Adewole approved the report of the
Ad Hoc Committee on standardization of the use of Hijab on school
uniform in the schools of nursing, having noted that its recommendations
were in line with the standards of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of
Nigeria.
The hospital in a statement issued by A. K. Shinyabola, its Director
of Administration advised students who want to embrace their religion in
fulfilment of the religious belief to do so in strict compliance with
the approved standard.

behalf of the hospital’s Chief Medical Director, Professor Temitope
Alonge and addressed to all Heads of Department, directed all concerned
departments to comply with the new rule.

She was called to the Bar in Abuja, the nation’s capital along with other new lawyers.
Amasa had insisted that she will not remove her veil, (Hijab) before she would be called to the bar.
