The Niger Private Schools Board has discontinued the conduct of graduation ceremonies in all private schools across the state with immediate effect.
This is contained in a statement by Director of Information Services, Niger State Ministry of Information and Orientation, Mr Yunusa Ibrahim, made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Minna.
Ibrahim explained that private schools are now required to adopt speech and prize-giving ceremonies as the approved platform for celebrating learners and recognising academic excellence, exemplary conduct, leadership and other outstanding achievements.
He said the directive applies to all proprietors of private schools, school administrators and management teams, parents and guardians, as well as other stakeholders in the private education sector.
