Chairman, MURIC Lagos Chapter, Dr. Busari Muhammad Jamiu Ademola, in a statement bemoaned the attitude of the officers of the ministry of education in luring students to the programmes through official invitation.
He said: “We are deeply worried by the incessant luring of innocent Muslim students to church programmes, particularly that of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. The programme, as reliably investigated, is sponsored by the cleric, who in conjunction with the officials of the Lagos State ministry of education, arranged the transportation of students to the venue. The students irrespective of their faiths are ferried to Christian programmes and deceived with gifts.
“This deceitful event has been on for more than five years. This year’s programme, which is slated for December 3, 2023 is coined as ‘Invitation to Host Students in Commemoration of Birthday of their Principal, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’ through a school named Teens Voice Academy Lagos.
“This is unbelievable and unspeakable of ministry officials directing principals of public schools in the six districts to arrange students for such an event. Where is the correlation? On whose directives is this happening? Is Pastor Oyakhilome now the owner of Lagos State public schools? LASG has sold out Lagos to Oyakhilome.
