    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. These are the measures. In view of the foregoing aspects, and in looking at the management, auditing and inspection systems in our schools that are part of our management, and in order to stem off this crisis that has developed in our schools, we have decided to take the following measures. As leaders and communities, we have a sacred duty to protect the lives of innocent children and public property from those who are bend on destroying them. For this reason, my Ministry will show no mercy to those involved in the current mayhem. I have, therefore, directed the Boards of Governors (BOGs) of schools concerned as follows:- (i) To keep all those who have participated in the current wave of unrest out of school until further notice. (ii) To screen all students and identify those who have engaged in the destruction of school property and handover the list to the police for further investigation and appropriate action.

(iv) To assess the damage caused and have a copy of similar report sent to us. (v) To stop the purchase of buses with televisions, DVDs or installation of such facilities in schools. (vi) From today, ban the use of mobile phones in all our educational institutions. Finally, allow me to emphasize here that our schools and other institutions of learning shall not be safe havens for any criminal elements and, therefore, we are banning the use of mobile phones by students in all our institutions."
