“You need to be regular in attendance at lectures, carry out all your assignments, and shun deviant behaviours and other vices that can expose you and others to danger. This university has zero tolerance for cultism, and any form of hooliganism, and corruption.”
“Show respect to your colleagues and staff in the university to make your day fruitful and productive. Be modest and decent in your dressing and approach to issues and adhere strictly to the rules and regulations enshrined in the students’ handbook, “ the VC said.
