A final-year student expressed her frustration on TikTok after her school banned the traditional “signing out” ceremony during graduation, a popular practice in Nigerian institutions where students celebrate by wearing white shirts signed by friends and family.
The sign-out tradition is a common practice in Nigerian higher institutions which involves students wearing white shirts covered with messages from friends and family, marking the end of their academic journey.
On this special day, students typically hand out pens to their loved ones, who write congratulatory notes on their shirts.
@meet_fehyee revealed that her school banned the activity, leaving her and her peers unable to participate in the long-awaited tradition. She voiced her disappointment on TikTok, highlighting how the ban took away a significant part of her graduation experience.
