The management of Tai Solarin University of Education has indefinitely suspended the traditional ‘sign out’ and ‘log out’ celebrations for final-year students following the tragic death of Hammed Ayinla Fabiyi, a 400-level student. This measure aims to ensure safety and maintain a serene environment during the final examinations.
Bankole Mofolorunso Adegoke, the university’s ACEO (Information), disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
YEPS had earlier reported that Fabiyi was killed by suspected cultists after being dragged out of the examination hall while writing his final papers. According to a source, Fabiyi was shot after being taken to a secluded area on the school premises. Despite being rescued and taken to two hospitals, he succumbed to his injuries.
In the statement, Adegoke emphasized that violators of the new and existing policies would face sanctions. The Students’ Affairs Division, in collaboration with the Security Division, has been directed to recommend appropriate penalties for offenders.
“The Management of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, hereby announces the indefinite suspension of students’ ‘log out’ and ‘sign out’ activities for all final-year students upon completion of their examinations.
“This decision follows a recent Management meeting aimed at addressing breaches of peace on all campuses. Effective immediately, Deans of Colleges and Heads of Departments are to refrain from approving any student activities without explicit authorization from the University Management.
“The Management reiterates that the existing ban on students driving personal vehicles to campus remains in effect. Violators of this directive will face stringent sanctions.
“To enhance campus security and prevent unauthorized individuals from posing as students, strict enforcement of the mandatory use of student identification cards within the university premises will be implemented immediately.
“The University Management urges all students to comply with these directives to ensure a peaceful and conducive learning environment,” Adegoke stated.
