The management of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) has put an indefinite suspension on the traditional “sign out” and “log out” celebrations for final-year students.
This decision follows the tragic death of a 400-level student, Hammed Ayinla Fabiyi, and aims to ensure a safe and peaceful environment during the final examinations.
In a statement released on Wednesday by the university’s Assistant Chief Executive Officer (Information), Bankole Mofolorunso Adegoke, it was confirmed that the suspension was a direct response to recent events on campus.
Fabiyi’s death occurred after he was reportedly attacked by suspected cultists. According to reports, he was dragged out of his examination hall and taken to a secluded area on campus where he was shot. Though he was rescued and taken to two different hospitals, he sadly did not survive.
Adegoke emphasized that any student found violating this suspension or other university policies would face strict consequences. The Students’ Affairs Division, along with the Security Division, has been tasked with recommending suitable 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.
