Bayelsa State Government has banned
children in the state from hawking during school hours.
The move is part of the Governor
Henry Seriake Dickson administration’s efforts to stem the alarming number of
children seen hawking in uniforms, during school hours.
A statement by the Commissioner for
Education, Jonathan Robinson Obuebite warned that any student caught would be
arrested and penalised alongside the parents.
The state government further said
that the Dickson administration is determined to ensure that Bayelsa children
receive the best education and directed school principals and headmasters to
maintain resumption and closing time for all students, and warned that schools
that violated the directive would face disciplinary actions from the Ministry
of Education.
