AWKA — Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has approved an indefinite ban on graduation ceremonies in kindergarten, primary and secondary schools across the state.

The state Commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, Dr. Law Mefor, said the measure is aimed at reducing the financial burden on parents.

In a statement issued on Friday, Mefor said the clarification became necessary following inquiries and concerns from members of the public over the directive.

According to him, the ban applies to all graduation-related ceremonies in kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, whether described as graduation, passing-out or crossover events, in both public and private schools.
