The management of Tai Solarin University of Education has suspended the customary ‘sign out’ and ‘log out’ celebration activities for final-year students indefinitely following the death of a 400-level student, Hammed Ayinla Fabiyi.
This step is geared towards ensuring safety and maintaining a serene and secure environment during the final examinations.
This was disclosed in a statement released by the university’s ACEO (Information), Bankole Mofolorunso Adegoke, on Wednesday.
The PUNCH Online had reported that Fabiyi was killed by suspected cultists after he was reportedly dragged out of the examination hall while writing his final papers.
Adegoke said in the statement that violators of this and the existing policies will be sanctioned as the Students’ Affairs Division, in collaboration with the Security Division, has been directed to recommend appropriate penalties for offenders.
The Management of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, hereby announces the indefinite suspension of students’ celebrations: “log out” and “sign out” activities for all final-year students upon completion of their examinations.
“This decision follows a recent Management meeting decision to address the breach of peace on all its Campuses. In light of this, Deans of Colleges, and Heads of Departments are to refrain forthwith from approving any student activities without explicit authorization from the University Management.
“The Management reiterates that the existing ban on Students driving in personal vehicles to campus remains in effect. Violators of this directive will face stringent sanctions.
“In addition, to enhance Campus security and prevent unauthorised individuals from posing as students, strict enforcement of the mandatory use of Student identification cards within the University premises is to be implemented immediately.
“The University Management urges all students to comply with these directives to ensure a peaceful and conducive learning environment,” Adegoke said.
