The Kogi State Government has banned graduation ceremonies in all basic and secondary schools across the state
The decision was announced on Wednesday in Lokoja by the state Commissioner for Education, Wemi Jones, during a meeting with key education stakeholders.
“The practice of incessant graduation ceremonies in nursery, primary, and secondary schools is hereby prohibited in the state with immediate effect,” Jones stated.
He explained that such ceremonies have become financially burdensome for parents, encourage unnecessary social excesses, and place undue pressure on families.
The move, he said, is aimed at easing costs and fostering more meaningful ways to celebrate students’ achievements.
