The popular โsign-outโ tradition, where students write on their white shirts to celebrate finishing school, is now being banned in many states.
Where it has been banned:
- Sokoto: Stopped for secondary school students.
- Imo & Ondo: No graduation parties for nursery, primary, and JSS-3.
- Edo: Stopped nursery and primary graduations.
- UNIZIK, Anambra: Banned signing out for final-year students.
Why the bans?
- To stop misconduct and indecent dressing.
- To reduce cost and pressure on parents.
- To stop vandalism and promote discipline.
Mixed Reactions:
Some parents and teachers support the bans, but many students are not happy, saying it takes away their fun and tradition.
What do you think? Should sign-out continue or be stopped?
