“We accept JAMB’s apology in good faith and we express appreciation for rescheduling the examination for those maltreated at the centres. JAMB is being charitable and humble by tendering apology and we commend the examination body for doing that.
“Nonetheless, we are constrained to ask what next apart from the examination rescheduled for the poor, innocent female Muslim candidates who were persecuted, traumatized and derided yet their only crime was wearing hijab and being Muslims?
“How will JAMB lift their lowly spirits and remove their excruciating agony and sorrow?
“Also, how will JAMB douse tension among millions of Muslims who have suffered agonising pain on account of the maltreatment of their fellow Muslims?”, it queried.

“We contend that JAMB is treating the Christian private universities with kid’s gloves.”

According to MURC, ‘’Rescheduling the examination cannot be the only consequence for the oppression, dehumanisation, and stigmatization which Covenant University and Canaanland willfully and maliciously visited on their daughters as if the latter are less homo sapien compos mentis
