The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has revealed that some senior high school students are using the tablets government distributed to them to watch pornographic contents.
According to the Education Minister, around 980,000 of the 1.3 million tablets the government has distributed to Senior High Schools across the country still need to be fully customised and restricted to academic use.
Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, November 27, 2025, Mr Iddrisu said ‘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.
‘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’.
The Minister called for immediate action on the matter.
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’.
