Katsina State Government Bans Whatsapp In Schools, Prohibits Facebook Among Workers
Katsina State Government has reportedly banned WhatsApp in schools and also prohibited Facebook among workers.
This is contained in a circular by the state Ministry of Education.
The Ministry ordered principals of government schools to abolish all existing Whatsapp groups in their respective schools, the circular says.
The same goes for Facebook, where government workers have been asked to avoid the use of the social media platform to comment on government activities, either positively or negatively.
The circular, dated December 7 and titled, “Abolishing of Whatsapp group in our schools” was signed by one Muhammad Sada Dikko, for the Zonal Coordinator.
It reads, “I am directed to write and inform all the principals to direct the various Group Admin in their respective schools to wipe out the so-called school Whatsapp. The abolishing of this group becomes necessary due to the multiple postings being made, which create problems and insubordination between the school authority and its staff.
“Principals should also remind their staff about the government circular that prohibits any civil servant from commenting positively or negatively on government activities on Facebook or Whatsapp.”
