Kwara State Government orders all schools in the state to stop organising graduation, valedictory, or similar end-of-session ceremonies. The directive applies to both public and private schools, and it is communicated through a letter from the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development. According to the reports, the order is signed by a ministry director, Bunmi Osanupin, on behalf of the education commissioner.
The government requires school proprietors, principals, headteachers, and administrators to comply strictly with the instruction. The stated reason is security concern, though the articles do not provide further details on specific threats or locations.
Both outlets frame the directive as a statewide ban on ceremony activities linked to school graduation or end-of-term events. The order means schools are expected to refrain from hosting the listed activities and related gatherings for students during the end-of-session period.
