According to Adamu, teaching sex education in schools would further corrupt little children who are already having access to phones and technologies, adding that as a religious country, the morals and values taught in churches and mosques are enough to bring up a child with good character.
The minister added that the increasing advocacy for sex education in schools is targeted at undermining and destroying the moral and religious fiber of society and it’s being promoted through social media and other forms of westernization.
