The management of Federal University Lokoja (FUL), has demanded that more than one thousand students of the institution pay the sum of one thousand naira for their unruly behaviour in the varsity’s campus.
FUL Registrar & Secretary To Council, Dr Rebecca Aimiohu Okojie disclosed this in a memoir she signed and dated Wednesday, December 14, 2022. She noted that the students destroyed a school property and were rude to the members of staff of the university
Consequent of the alleged bad behaviour, the school management requested that the students must do the following:
- Payment of one thousand naira ( N1000) at resumption in January 2023.
- Evidence of payment to be presented at Student Affairs Division in order to be cleared to write examination
- Presentation of Stamped Affidavit of good behaviour from High Court.
The management further condemned the act and urged the students be be of good character.
Part of the memoir reads:
“Management notes with discomfort the unruly and highly condemnable behaviour you displayed during the CBT examination that took place on 6th December, 2022 at the ICT centre Felele Campus. The said unruly behavior behavior led to the damage of university property, in addition to you being rude to Principal Officers at the venue
Federal University Lokoja as an institution of transformative learning, whose certificates and honours must be bagged by students found worthy in both character and learning, has neither place nor tolerance for the kind of reprehensible displayed during the examination under reference.”
However, The Daily Reality gathered that not all the students affected by the general punishment were present on that day for the examination.
An affected student who spoke to the Daily Reality on the ground of anonymity said it was the lack of coordination on the part of the institution that caused the chaos that led to a door being damaged.
“It was lack of coordination that led to chaos and a door being damaged as a result. Many exams were already taken that day and thousands of students couldn’t write the examination. Many suffocated and fainted as a result of their way the school handled the situation.”
