In light of the passing of 400-level student Hammed Ayinla Fabiyi, the administration of Tai Solarin University of Education has decided to permanently halt the traditional “sign out” and “log out” celebration events for final-year students.
This step is geared towards ensuring safety and maintaining a serene and secure environment during the final examinations.
The university’s ACEO (Information), Bankole Mofolorunso Adegoke, revealed this in a statement on Wednesday.
Fabiyi was said to have been hauled out of the exam room while he was writing his final papers, and it was then reported that he was murdered by cult members.
A source told our correspondent that he was dragged to one corner of the school premises and was shot but was rescued after the assailants left the scene.
Fabiyi died after being taken to two different hospitals for medical assistance.
Adegoke said in the statement that those who violate this and the other policies will face consequences because the Students’ Affairs Division has been tasked with recommending suitable punishments for offenders in coordination with the Security Division.
“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.
