The House of Representatives has asked the federal government, state and local governments to ban Queen Primer, a textbook used in primary schools.
The green chamber passed the resolution at Thursday’s plenary after the adoption of a motion sponsored by Sulaiman Gumi, a lawmaker from Zamfara state.
Gumi said the textbook “subtly introduces the terms — “gay”, “eros” that communise sexual perversion and immoral behaviours, thus exposing innocent children to terms inappropriate for their age, which is unlawful, unethical, highly immoral and antithetical to child upbringing”.
