Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo

The Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board has reiterated its directive banning public primary and junior secondary schools in the state from organising graduation ceremonies, Christmas parties and collecting graduation levies.

In a circular dated July 10, 2026, and signed by the Executive Chairman of ASUBEB, Dr Justina Anyadiegwu, the board said the directive was in line with the Anambra State Government’s existing policy prohibiting such activities in basic education schools.

The circular, obtained by our correspondent on Sunday, was addressed to Officers-in-Charge of Local Government Education Areas and Education Secretaries across the 21 local government areas of the state.

It read, “No primary or junior secondary school shall organise or permit any graduation ceremony, graduation levy, Christmas party, or any related activity inconsistent with the government’s directive.
