Mr. Penuel made the call while speaking at the 55th graduation ceremony of Government Secondary School, Hong, in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
He described graduation ceremonies as an important tradition that enhances the image of schools, strengthens collaboration between parents and teachers, and promotes the overall development of education.
According to him, principals should make the annual organization of graduation ceremonies and the recognition of exceptional students a priority, while fostering closer partnerships with parents to support students' academic and moral development.
The Acting Executive Secretary also advised students to remain focused on their studies, respect school authorities, and maintain discipline, stressing that dedication to learning is essential for future success.
He warned graduating students against engaging in activities capable of disrupting public peace, particularly the practice popularly known as "signing out." He emphasized that the Adamawa State Government would not tolerate acts of disorder and that anyone found violating the law would face appropriate sanctions.
Mr. Penuel further urged parents to closely monitor and guide their children, encouraging them to discourage any conduct that could threaten public peace. He noted that the state government has prohibited activities capable of causing unrest in communities.
He commended Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for his commitment to improving security across Adamawa State, including in schools, noting that the peaceful environment created by the administration has continued to support educational growth and development.
