The University Management has put in place machineries to make the environment conducive for learning. It is our expectation that you will take advantage of these provisions to enhance your learning in this University.”

The VC also urged them to be receptive of all the good things that could come their way, either in the lecture halls or hostels, which could enhance their success, reminding them of their academic pursuit as their primary assignment.
Prof. Ige, however, stressed that, “Our University has zero tolerance for all forms of anti-social vices, such as cult related activities, examination misconduct, drug abuse, sexual harassment, indecent dressing, among others. The University, like other responsible organizations, is governed by rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are to guide your conducts and activities in the University. Obviously, there are sanctions for violating them with a view to enforcing discipline in the system.
“Let me also emphasise that our certificates are issued to students who have been found worthy in character and learning. Therefore, I admonish you to be disciplined in your conduct and be time conscious in attending to your lectures and other University functions.”
