The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has kicked against the planned screening by the Oyo State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) MURIC describing it as a ploy by the crusader regime of Governor Seyi Makinde to weed out newly employed Muslim teachers.

MURIC opposition is contained in a press release issued Sunday by its Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola.

The  State’s TESCOM has allegedly fixed Monday, 11th July, 2022 which is a Salah public holiday, for the screening of newly recruited teachers in the South Western State.

The statement reads: “Reports reaching us suggest that Oyo State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has fixed Monday, 11th July, 2022 (tomorrow) which is a Salah public holiday, for the screening of newly recruited teachers in the state. It is a ploy by the crusader regime of Governor Seyi Makinde to weed out newly employed Muslim teachers.

“We are waiting to see them do the screening without Muslim teachers tomorrow. The Federal Government declared the day and the day after (Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th July, 2022) as Salah holidays and that declaration was given wide publicity.
