‎AAUA Bans Signing-Out Parties Over Security Fears ‎

‎The management of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, has suspended signing-out parties and other celebratory activities by final-year students over security concerns.

‎The suspension was announced in a circular signed by the Registrar, Dr Grace Olubunmi Babalola.

‎Babalola said the directive was issued by the Vice-Chancellor on behalf of the Senate in view of prevailing security concerns and the need to safeguard lives and property within the university community.

‎She said, “The Vice-Chancellor, on behalf of the Senate, has directed that, in view of prevailing security concerns and the need to safeguard lives and property within the University community, all signing-out ceremonies and related celebratory activities on campus are hereby suspended with immediate effect and pending further notice.”

‎The directive prohibits students from organising, hosting or participating in signing-out parties, gatherings, processions and other celebrations associated with the completion of academic programmes anywhere on campus.

‎The registrar added, “Accordingly, all students, particularly final-year students, are hereby directed to comply strictly with this directive. No signing-out party, gathering, procession or other celebratory activity associated with the completion of academic programmes shall be organised, hosted or participated in on any part of the University campus until the suspension is formally lifted.”

‎The management warned that any student or member of the university community who violates the directive would face appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with the institution’s regulations.

‎It also directed deans, heads of departments, heads of units and security personnel to ensure strict compliance with the order and report any violation to the appropriate university authorities.

‎The suspension will remain in force until further notice, as the management urged members of the university community to cooperate in maintaining a safe, peaceful and orderly campus environment.
