Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has rejected the timetable of the 2020 West African Secondary School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE).<\/p>\n
The body said the dates clashed with Muslims\u2019 Friday prayers.<\/p>\n
The examination will commence on the 17th August, 2020.<\/p>\n
MURIC Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, in a statement on Monday accused WAEC of creating a wedge between young Muslims and the mosque.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are at least three clashes between examination periods and Muslim prayers on Fridays: Management-in-Living (2 pm, Friday 14th August, 2020); Literature-in-English (2 pm, Friday 21st August); Health Science (1.30 pm, Friday, 4th September),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
MURCI said the timetable is exclusive, sectional, parochial, insensitive and provocative.<\/p>\n
It called the schedule an invitation to anarchy, designed to cause pain to Muslim candidates.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is the handiwork of sadists and anarchists. It smirks of an anti-Muslim machinery oiled by the passion for hate and injustice. This is in spite of efforts made by us to guard against this kind of clash,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
