“Recent events have shown that these celebrations often lead to public disturbances, endanger student safety, and sometimes involve inappropriate or unlawful behavior, contrary to the Islamic values we seek to inculcate in our youth.
“The Honourable Commissioner of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Prof Isa Yusuf Chamo, emphasised that the state remains committed to promoting discipline, academic excellence, and responsible behavior among students. Schools are therefore advised to encourage alternative forms of recognition and celebration that align with educational values and societal norms
