Ogun State Bans Graduation and End-of-Session Parties in All Schools

Ogun State Bans Graduation and End-of-Session Parties in All Schools

The Ogun State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has ordered all public and private schools to stop organising graduation ceremonies and end-of-session celebrations immediately. A circular from the Department of Private Schools in Abeokuta warns that some administrators were extorting parents under the guise of these events. The ministry says such practices violate resolutions from a pre-resumption stakeholders’ meeting held in September 2025. School owners have been directed to publicise the directive widely. Any institution found defying the order will face sanctions from the state government.
