The Anglican Church of Ghana has declared firm support for the stance taken by the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference and the Christian Council of Ghana on the ongoing Wesley Girls’ High School hijab controversy.

The Church insists that mission schools have the constitutional right to uphold their religious identity and enforce internal regulations, including dress codes.

This was in a statement signed by the Metropolitan Archbishop and Primate of the Church, Most Rev’d Dr Cyril Kobina Ben-Smith, and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra.
