The university management has announced an immediate ban on all forms of post-examination celebrations within and around the campus.
In a statement signed by the university’s Registrar, Jeremiah O. Nwamgbo, and made available to the press, stated that the decision aims to prevent security threats and maintain uninterrupted academic activities on campus.
The directive warns that any student found participating in such celebrations will face strict disciplinary measures.
The statement reads “the Management has observed with concern the unwarranted and boisterous celebrations by students after taking their final examinations. These celebrations have constituted security threats and have disrupted academic activities in the University.
“Consequently, the Vice-Chancellor has banned totally all forms of post-examination celebration within and around the University premises. This ban takes immediate effect. Punishment for any breach of this ban shall, among other measures, include cancellation of all the examinations taken by the celebrating students and arrest of offenders to serve as deterrent to others.
“Deans and Heads of Department are requested to monitor properly to ensure that their students comply with this ban. In a similar vein, the SUG President should adequately sensitize the students on the need to comply with this ban to avoid blaming anyone when sanction is applied,” it stated.
