FG cracks down on school bullies, threatens suspension, expulsion

The Nigerian federal government has intensified efforts to combat bullying in schools, announcing strict disciplinary actions such as suspension, expulsion, and public identification of offenders. The initiative was launched through a sensitization workshop organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), aimed at implementing the National Policy on Anti-Bullying. The event emphasized creating safer learning environments and encouraging students and teachers to report bullying incidents. UBEC’s Deputy Executive Secretary highlighted the psychological and academic harms of bullying and stressed the government’s commitment to eradicating the issue. Awareness campaigns have reportedly led to a decrease in bullying reports, and the government plans to continue enforcing preventive measures.
