The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, revealed to Parliament that certain students are utilizing government-issued tablets to access pornographic content.
He made this statement on Thursday, November 27, 2025.
According to him, 980,000 of the 1.3 million tablets distributed to Senior High Schools nationwide require full customization and restriction to academic use.
He noted that the situation is unacceptable and restrictions will be implemented to ensure students utilize the tablets solely for academic purposes.
“I inherited a contract with about 337 million US dollars, where some 1.3 million tablets were to be distributed across the country to all free senior high schools in the country so that learners can have access to digital tools. I’m told that the deployment of that is around 980,000,” he said.
“Mr Speaker, my attention was drawn to the fact that many of the devices are not customised and the students are using them for other purposes, including pornography, which is not acceptable.”
“Mr Speaker, the government is taking a high view of it, and there must be restrictions as to what the tablets can be used for, and they should be used strictly for the purpose of study,” he said.
