Rising costs, misconduct, and moral concerns prompt bans on graduation ceremonies, sparking mixed reactions.
Several Nigerian states including Kano, Sokoto, Imo, Ondo, and Edo have banned or restricted graduation ceremonies in schools over issues like financial strain, indecent behavior, and vandalism. While some parents and educators welcome the relief and focus on academics, others argue deeper educational challenges need attention. Kaduna is considering similar bans amid ongoing debates, while Katsina urges strict monitoring to prevent misconduct. Calls grow for balanced celebrations that honor achievement without excess.
