The Kogi Government has restated its ban on excessive graduation ceremonies in nursery, primary, and junior secondary schools, warning that any school that violates the directive will be shut down.
The government also reaffirmed its ban on sign-out ceremonies by undergraduates after their final semester examinations across the state.
The Commissioner for Education, Wemi Jones, issued the warning on Monday at stakeholders’ sensitisation meeting on 2025/2026 Kogi State Annual School Census exercise at Government House, Lokoja.
Jones said the policy took effect at the start of the current academic session to reduce financial pressure on parents.
