FG Summons Lead British School Management Over Bullying

The Federal Government has summoned the management of Lead British International School, Abuja, over allegations of bullying in the school.

The Minister of State for Education, Dr Yusuf Sununu, made this known on Tuesday in Abuja at a strategic planning meeting.

Sununu said the ministry is not taking the bullying incident lightly and has already called for an emergency meeting with the government.

He said, “I woke up to so many calls, and a video was forwarded to me about how a female student was maltreated by other students here in the  Federal Capital Territory.

“The ministry is not taking it lightly; we have already called for an emergency meeting between the Federal Capital Territory and the authorities of that school because we believe that an attack on one is an attack on all.

“We have also invited all the parties involved and an investigation has been launched
into the issue.”
