The National Prayer Altar petitions Nigerian government to abolish Arabic, Islamic qualifications equivalence with WAEC, NECO certificates, citing potential erosion of secular education framework and divisions.

The advocacy group demands immediate revocation of policy, warning it violates constitutional neutrality and promotes religious-based certification system into mainstream education, fueling theological asymmetry and exclusion.

The elevation of NBAIS certifications to same level as WAEC and NECO allegedly privileges one religion, undermines Federal Character principle, and lacks transparent curriculum moderation and legislative backing.

The group warns policy could invite demands from other groups for federal equivalence, resulting in fragmented certification boards, ideologically divergent syllabuses, and policy incoherence, distorting Nigeria's secular framework.

The National Prayer Altar demands abolition of NBAIS certificate equivalence, reaffirmation of secular certification bodies, and a universal framework for cultural or religious certifications, signed by over 100 leaders.
