Nigerian states curb school graduation parties to cut costs and curb misbehavior, stirring mixed reactions.
Several Nigerian states like Kano, Sokoto, Imo, Ondo, and Edo have banned or restricted graduation ceremonies over financial burdens, indecent behavior, and vandalism. While some parents and educators welcome the relief and renewed focus on academics, others say it overlooks deeper educational issues. Kaduna considers similar bans with hopes to promote discipline and academic priority, while Katsina urges strict monitoring of student conduct during ceremonies to prevent misconduct and protect school reputations.
