The Federal Government has denounced the increasing prevalence of unethical “sign out” celebrations among students in both secondary and tertiary institutions across the country.
During an awareness campaign on governmental policies, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, who is the Director General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), urged stakeholders to work together in order to reduce this behavior.
He, represented by Mrs. Ayisola Olowoyo (Director of Human Resources),
underscored the exploitation of sign-out events by students for immoral
activities and called for a shared responsibility to tackle the problem.
His words, “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.”
Also speaking, the Osun State Director, NOA, Mr Adebiyi Stephen, said in a bid to mitigate the incidence of flood, the agency has been collaborating with the State Government to enlighten residents living around flood-prone areas on steps to take to avoid loss of lives and property.
