The Federal Government has expressed alarm over the increasing inappropriate “sign out” tradition among students in tertiary institutions and secondary schools throughout the nation.
During an awareness campaign on Government policies, the Director General of the National Orientation Agency, NOA, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, emphasized the importance of all stakeholders working together with the Federal Government to halt the “immoral trend.”
Represented by the Director of Human Resources, Mrs Ayisola Olowoyo, Issa-Onilu noted that students in tertiary institutions and secondary schools exploit the sign-out event to engage in immoral behavior, underscoring the need for collective responsibility.
“The Federal Government is concerned with the growing trend of immorality among students across the country. Celebrating success is good but for young people to start immorality, exposing and touching private parts within educational institutions, against national values.
One of the reasons the Federal Government would be launching national charter is to instil discipline and values in our daily lives across all sectors.
Parents and school administrators should also take serious steps towards cautioning their children and students from immorality, especially in schools.” he said.
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
