The House of Representatives has resolved to mandate the ban of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) materials from all schools.

The lawmakers are also planning to ban the importation and local production of the materials in federal, state, and local governments.

The resolution follows the adoption of a motion moved by SULAIMAN ABUBAKAR GUMI, a member representing Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency of Zamfara State during plenary.

In his lead debate, GUMI expressed concern over the influx of foreign educational materials introduced in nursery and primary schools in Nigeria which tend to teach and promote certain morals that are alien and inimical to Nigeria’s cherished norms and values.

He noted with worry that the widely used book, ‘Queen Primer’ subtly introduces terms like ‘gay’, ‘eros’, among others that communise sexual perversion and immoral behaviours.

The other lawmakers said these materials expose innocent children to terms inappropriate for their age, which is unlawful, unethical, and highly immoral to child upbringing.
