Lagos State University's Senate has expressed concern over what it described as flagrant disregard for rules and regulations guiding students’ conduct in the University during supposed signing-out funfairs by the final-year students
The Senate then threatened to rusticate students caught violating the regulations for the entire final session in the institutions
It will be recalled that the Senate of the university after extensive deliberation during its 306th Statutory Meeting held on Thursday, 25th January 2024, observed that the students who usually invite their friends to the campus, threw caution to the wind as they drank alcoholic beverages, smoked weed and cigarettes, used shisha, and dressed very indecently
It observed that disc jockeys and musical equipment were brought onto the school premises by the final-year students
According to the Senate, the crowd of students and their invitees, along with the indiscriminate parking of their vehicles, also led to traffic congestion on the campus
The university said that the Students' Affairs Division, Security Unit, and some Deans had a hectic time controlling the crowd; saying the students also made the University environment dirty and untidy.
while the signing-out funfairs were ongoing, some students according to the Senate report, were still writing their examinations, and members of the National Universities Commission (NUC) Accreditation Teams were on campus for the accreditation of some programmes
The Senate of the university condemned in totality the unbecoming actions of graduating students in the name of signing-out funfair parties
It therefore insisted on strict compliance with the regulations for holding such signing out Funfair party on campus as listed below
1. Henceforth, all final-year students are to sign an undertaking not to organise any funfair/party in the name of signing out.
2. For a signing-out event to be organised, students must:
a. not play any music at such an occasion;
b. not bring food, cake, or drinks from outside the premises for such an occasion;
c. not invite or bring any visitors to such an occasion; and
d. not bring any canopy or tent onto campus for such an occasion.
3. *Any student or group of students found violating the above regulations shall be rusticated for one (1) academic session, and all examinations written by the student or group of students in their final year shall be cancelled*. This means such student(s) will have to pay another tuition fee, re-register the courses, and re-write the final-year examinations.
