The Vice-Chancellor of the Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, Ondo State, Prof. Olukayode Amund, has told the 435 newly-matriculated students that the institution would not tolerate hooliganism, drug abuse, stealing, prostitution and indecent conduct.
Speaking at the 9th matriculation ceremony of the institution, Prof Amund said that the institution “maintains zero tolerance for all forms of anti-social behaviours such as cultism, hooliganism, drug abuse, stealing, prostitution and indecent conduct.
He said: ” The university management would not hesitate to deal with recalcitrant offenders within the ambit of the university regulations.
“You are enjoined to pursue your academic studies with necessary vigour and commitment. You should shun examination misconduct and other deviant practices.
“You are urged to be modest and decent in your dressing, respect your lecturers who are your parents “in loco” and adhere strictly to the rules and regulations that have been articulated in the Students’ Information Handbook.
” The University has enjoyed relative peace since inception and you are advised to keep religiously to your matriculation oaths and stay away from any activity that will constitute a threat to peace and tranquillity of this noble institution of learning, as any violation of extant rules and regulations, shall receive appropriate sanctions.
“The distance between Matriculation and Convocation is quite wide and it is important the journey ends successfully. For this to happen, you need to attend your lectures, carry out your assignments, shun deviant behaviour and other vices that could expose you and other students to grave danger.”
