Islamic group wants separate camps for male and female corps members

The Jama'atu Nasril Islam (JNI) has called on the management of the
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to stop mixing males and females
in the National Youth Service Scheme physical exercise at orientation
camps as it violates Islamic tenets and offends the sensibilities of
Muslims.

This JNI Secretary General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar, said this at the end
of a peace and unity conference for Muslim scholars in Kaduna State.


Abubakar called on the NYSC to respect the decency and chastity of
female corps members during physical exercises and other activities at
the orientation camps, and provide alternative camps for female Muslim
corps members.
