MURIC accuses CAN of double standards over Ramadan school break

• MURIC rebuked CAN for opposing school closures during Ramadan in four northern states, calling its stance an overreach and an example of double standards
• CAN argued that the decision disrupts education and threatens students’ progress, warning of possible legal action if the directive is not reversed
• MURIC defended the move, stating that it reflects the Muslim majority’s wishes and accused CAN of ignoring Muslim rights in other parts of Nigeria

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has responded to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) over its objection to the decision by four northern states – Bauchi, Katsina, Kano, and Kebbi – to extend school closures during the Ramadan period.

MURIC’s Executive Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, criticized CAN’s stance, describing it as an overreach and an example of double standards in religious matters.
