The management of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) has suspended the traditional celebrations of ‘sign out’ and ‘log out’ by the final-year students of the institution following the recent k!lling of a 400-level student, Hammed Ayinla Fabiyi by cultists.
The institution said the step was taken to ensure safety and maintain a serene and secure environment during the final examinations.
A statement released by the university’s ACEO (Information), Bankole Mofolorunso Adegoke, disclosed this on Wednesday.
It would be recalled that Fabiyi was killed by suspected cultists after he was reportedly dragged out of the examination hall while writing his final papers.
The student later died in one of the two hospitals he was taken to for treatment.
Adegoke said in the statement that violators of this and the existing policies would be sanctioned as the Students’ Affairs Division, in collaboration with the Security Division, had 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.
