The Kwara State government has compensated proprietors of missionary schools and church owners whose property was damaged in the wake of controversy over the wearing of hijab by students in the State.
The Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN), in the State said the State government had since fulfilled its promise to the concerned institutions.
The spokesman of Kwara CAN, Sina Ibiyemi, said the government had equally settled the medical expenses of those that sustained injuries during the crisis.
Proprietors of Christian missionary schools in the state had vehemently opposed the use of hijab to such schools, describing it as sacrilegious since many of the schools were within the church premises.
They equally alleged that different uniforms could be the easiest way for abductors to differentiate between Christian students and their Muslim counterparts.
The attempted enforcement of the Muslim female veil was met with stiff opposition by the proprietors, causing in the process the damage of some school gates, fences, windows and doors of some chapels.
Ibiyemi, while appreciating Governor AbdulRahaman AbdulRazak for fulfilling his promises, urged him to be more sensitive to the diverse ways of worship in the state, like many other States of the Federation.
