UNICAL goes tough on wild graduation celebrations, cult activities
The University of Calabar has reiterated its ban on wild post-examination celebrations and other acts capable of disrupting peace on campus.
The Registrar of the institution, Dr Chukwuka Icha, conveyed the management’s directive in a statement on Monday in Calabar.
Icha expressed concern that some students, particularly final-year students, engaged in unlawful celebrations after their final examinations.
According to her, such celebrations often involve reckless driving, flying of colours and other forms of disorderly conduct.
She advised all students especially finalists, to desist from such acts and comply with the university’s regulations.
She added that the Acting Chief Security Officer had been directed to ensure strict enforcement across the campus and its environs.
The registrar urged members of the university community to take note of the directive and comply accordingly.
It will be recalled that in 2024, there was a serious crash in the school premises which involved final year students who just wrote their last paper and were celebrating wildly on campus.(NAN)
