Cultism now in primary schools fct minister

A very concerning topic!

Yes, it's true that cultism has been reported in some primary schools in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria. In recent years, there have been cases of cult-related activities, including initiation ceremonies, in some primary schools in the FCT.

In 2020, the FCT Minister, Mallam Muhammad Bello, raised the alarm about the increasing cases of cultism in primary schools in the territory. He attributed the problem to the influence of social media and the lack of effective supervision by school authorities.

The minister also stated that the FCT Education Secretariat had received reports of cult-related activities in some primary schools, including the use of initiation rituals, which he described as "unacceptable and disturbing."

The FCT Minister has since directed the education authorities to take immediate action to address the issue, including:

  1. Conducting thorough investigations into the cases of cultism reported in primary schools.
  2. Identifying and sanctioning schools and individuals involved in cult-related activities.
  3. Providing counseling and rehabilitation services to students who have been involved in cultism.
  4. Strengthening supervision and monitoring of schools to prevent the spread of cultism.

The FCT Minister has also called on parents and guardians to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activities in their children's schools to the authorities.

It's essential to address this issue promptly and effectively to prevent the spread of cultism in primary schools and to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment for all students.
