The Jigawa State Government has made a significant decision regarding the attire of female security operatives in the state.

According to a recent announcement, the government has directed three private security firms operating in the state to allow their female workers to wear hijabs while on duty.

This was announced by the State Executive Council through the Commissioner of Information, Sagir Musa, while briefing newsmen on the resolutions of the Council’s meeting held on Tuesday evening at the Press Gallery, Government House, Dutse, the state capital.

He stated that the directive is part of the government’s efforts to provide an inclusive and enabling environment for all citizens, particularly women.

“By allowing female security operatives to wear hijabs, the government is empowering them to practice their religious and cultural beliefs without restriction. This decision is expected to boost the morale and confidence of female security operatives in the state,” he noted.

The commissioner explained that the decision follows a report presented by the Council Committee on Schools, Hospital, and Court Security.

He stated, “These companies are to allow female security operatives among the 9,969 young people recruited to wear Hijabs while on duty, as a matter of religious and cultural accommodation.”

“This move reaffirms the administration’s support for respectful workplace policies that uphold modesty, inclusion, and dignity,” said the commissioner.

Additionally, Mr. Musa revealed that the directive is expected to impact female security operatives positively, allowing them to practice their religious and cultural beliefs while performing their duties.

He, however, explained that “the State Executive Council also approved the release of N516.1 million for the purchase of 184 return tickets and one-way tickets for 185 Jigawa State students currently studying various medical and applied medical courses at Near East University, Cyprus.

“This intervention underscores the government’s continued commitment to supporting the education and welfare of Jigawa’s students abroad, especially in critical fields such as medicine and healthcare,” he added.

The commissioner of information, therefore, emphasised that “the government’s decision to support medical students and promote creativity and innovation among the youth demonstrates its commitment to education and human capital development.”

Furthermore, he said, the Council approved the inauguration of the Jigawa State Creativity and Innovation Week starting from 2025.

According to the Commissioner, this initiative reflects the administration’s commitment to promoting talent development among the youth and aims to foster a vibrant spirit of innovation, creativity, and enterprise across the state.

“The JISCIW will serve as a platform for identifying, showcasing, and supporting creative talents, especially in fields such as technology, design, entrepreneurship, and the arts. This initiative is expected to promote innovation and creativity among the youth in Jigawa State,” he highlighted.

He concluded, “By providing a platform for showcasing creative talents, the government is encouraging innovation and creativity among young people.”

Arsenal thrash Man City 3-0 to lift Community Shield

Arsenal beat Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield on Sunday, giving Mikel Arteta an early-season triumph while condemning new City boss Enzo Maresca to defeat in his first game in charge in the traditional curtain-raiser to the campaign.   With their fourth victory over City in the fixture, Arsenal maintained their 100% win record over their opponents with an emphatic performance at the Principality Stadium, where Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard found the net. “We showed our level today, we showed that we’re ready,” Odegaard told TNT Sports. “I think we showed that we’re serious, we want to do it again. There’s more trophies to go for and that’s the aim.” Having failed to convince in pre-season performances that raised a few eyebrows, Arsenal exploded into action with devastating effect right from kick-off, needing just 23 seconds to silence any lingering doubts about their readiness. Myles Lewis-Skelly was deployed in midfield and he threaded an excellent pass to set up left-back Calafiori, who calmly finished past Gianluigi Donnarumma to give Arsenal the perfect start against the FA Cup champions. The early strike — the first goal scored in the opening minute of the fixture in 58 years — set the tone for a dominant display where Arsenal looked fitter, sharper, more confident and full of attacking verve. Arsenal celebrate first premier league title since 2004 with massive parade City did not have a clear opportunity until the 20th minute, when Phil Foden curled a shot from range but David Raya was up to the task, diving to his right to deny the midfielder, and later saved a shot from Erling Haaland. Arsenal doubled their lead when Odegaard floated in a cross to the far post, where new signing Christos Tzolis headed the ball back across goal for Havertz to head home, with Donnarumma accidentally spilling the ball over the line. Arsenal needed just three minutes after the restart to make it 3-0, with Tzolis grabbing his second assist when he set up Odegaard, whose delicate first touch took the ball past Josko Gvardiol before he beat a wrong-footed Donnarumma with ease. Maresca’s side showed only flashes of their attacking threat, but Raya stood firm to preserve a clean sheet while Haaland — last season’s Golden Boot winner with 27 goals — was kept quiet and withdrawn before the hour mark. Arsenal kick off the new Premier League campaign on Friday against Coventry City, and Odegaard said they were going to play on the front foot to defend their crown. “We’re going to attack it. We want to do it again. It was an unbelievable achievement and experience for all of us,” he said. “When you get the taste of how nice it is, you want to do it again. And there’s also a few other ones we want to take,” he added, referring to the Champions League title that slipped through their fingers in the final against Paris Saint-Germain. “At this club, you want to win all of them. But of course, that’s a big one.” The Gunners’ victory over the FA Cup holders gave them their second trophy in four months and their 18th Community Shield title overall. The match was played at the Principality Stadium while Wembley hosts Canadian singer The Weeknd’s ‘After Hours til Dawn’ tour.
