'See Something, Say Something': Abuja Workshop Urges Students to Report Bullying

Stakeholders at a one-day sensitisation workshop in Abuja called on students and teachers to speak up against bullying. They warned that staying silent undermines learning, mental health and school safety. Dr Aisha Garba stressed that prompt reporting of physical, verbal, social or cyberbullying can prevent lasting academic and psychological harm. She urged schools to offer confidential channels so students can report incidents without fear of victimisation. Speakers also highlighted the need for regular monitoring of the National Anti-Bullying Policy. They called for greater collaboration among government agencies, civil society, schools and parents to create safe learning environments. Students were encouraged to become “upstanders” rather than bystanders, while parents were reminded of their role in reinforcing moral values at home.
