MURIC backs minister on removing sex education from basic education curriculum

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has expressed support to the federal government to remove sex education from the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC).

This was contained in a statement issued yesterday by the Chairman, Kano State chapter of MURIC, Malam

Hassan Sani Indabawa.

The group condemned the media attack against the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, on the directive he issued to the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) to review and expunge all materials related to Sex Education from the nation’s BEC.

Indabawa said, “We, on our part, have similarly made it bold and clear that Nigerians of all faiths and cultures reject the teaching of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), developed by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and partners for worldwide use to promote promiscuity, fornication and homosexuality. All these contradict our faith, culture and values.
