Muslim students in government secondary schools in Borno State now have a new dress code with effect from the 2023/2024 session.
Director, Schools Management, Ministry of Education, Bukar Mustapha-Umara in a statement in Maiduguri on Thursday said every student must always wear a trouser, quarter blouse, head tie and himar, veil, in school.
The director said all principals of secondary schools must ensure total compliance to the new dress code.
“This dressing code is compulsory for all Muslim female students all over our secondary schools in the state.
“But for the Christian female students, it is optional. They can remain with their present dress code or change to the trouser”, Mustapha -Umara said.
He called on parents and wards to make adequate arrangements for the new school uniform before the commencement of the 2023/2024 academic session.
