The Niger Home of Meeting has urged Governor Umaru Bago to ban the celebration of Markers’ Day and sign-out actions in all private and non-private secondary and tertiary establishments throughout the state.
The Meeting handed the decision following a movement by the member representing Tafa Constituency, Muhammad Idris, who lamented the destructive penalties related to such celebrations.
Idris argued that although the celebration was initially meant to be a innocent farewell gesture by graduating college students, it has degenerated into unruly behaviour, rising incidents of misconduct, and immoral actions.
He warned that the development poses threats to the ethical and mental improvement that the state’s academic system seeks to advertise, calling on Bago to concern an government order banning such celebrations.

“The continuing development of signing out from colleges, which is presumably supposed to be a celebration by final-year college students, has not too long ago been characterised by unruly behaviour and misconduct,” Idris argued on the ground.
In the meantime, the movement was unanimously adopted by different lawmakers, who described it as a well timed intervention in response to rising public concern.
The Deputy Speaker, Afiniki Dauda, who presided over the plenary, assured the Home that she would collaborate with the Governor and the Ministry of Schooling to make sure a swift enforcement of the ban.
In one other improvement, the Home additionally handed a Personal Member Invoice amending the legislation establishing the Minna Institute of Know-how and Innovation.
In keeping with lawmakers, the modification was essential to align the establishment’s principal legislation with present trade tendencies, trendy academic wants, and institutional realities.
