The management of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) has indefinitely suspended the traditional “sign out” and “log out” celebration activities for final-year students following the tragic death of a 400-level student, Hammed Ayinla Fabiyi.
This decision aims to ensure safety and maintain a serene and secure environment during the final examinations.
In a statement released on Wednesday by the university’s ACEO (Information), Bankole Mofolorunso Adegoke, it was disclosed that this measure is part of broader efforts to preserve peace on all campuses.
The PUNCH Online reported that Fabiyi was killed by suspected cultists after being dragged out of the examination hall while writing his final papers. A source revealed that he was taken to a secluded area on campus and shot. Though he was rescued and taken to two different hospitals for medical assistance, he unfortunately did not survive.
Adegoke emphasized in the statement that any violations of this new policy, as well as existing regulations, would be met with strict penalties. The Students’ Affairs Division, in collaboration with the Security Division, has been instructed to recommend appropriate sanctions 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,” the statement read.
“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.”
Adegoke reiterated that the existing ban on students driving personal vehicles to campus remains in effect and violators will face stringent sanctions. Additionally, to enhance campus security and prevent unauthorized individuals from posing as students, the mandatory use of student identification cards within the university premises will be strictly enforced.
“The University Management urges all students to comply with these directives to ensure a peaceful and conducive learning environment,” Adegoke concluded.
