House of Representatives Pass Resolution to Ban Queen Primer

Date:

The Nigerian House of Representatives has passed a resolution urging authorities at all levels to ban the popular children’s book, “Queen Premier,” due to its content, which lawmakers argue introduces concepts like “gay” and “eros” to young readers.

The motion to ban the book was presented by Sulaiman Gumi and gained support from fellow House members. Gumi expressed concern about the increasing presence of foreign educational materials in Nigerian schools, emphasizing that these materials sometimes promote values that contradict the country’s cultural norms.
Supporting the motion, Bello el-Rufai shared his personal experience of withdrawing his children from a prominent school in Abuja due to similar book content. He highlighted the importance of preserving cultural and religious values, especially concerning the education of young minds.
As a response, the House of Representatives passed a resolution to ban “Queen Premier” and similar books perceived as promoting values incompatible with Nigerian norms and values. The use of such books has been deemed a criminal offense.
