The management of Ajayi Crowther University (ACU), Oyo has reiterated its commitment to wage war against any act of indiscipline among its students.
ACU in a statement by its Registrar, Mrs. Adenike Fatogun and made available to journalists on Monday said that the university was not shut contrary to insinuation that it was shut.
She said the statement had become imperative following “rumours by mischievous elements” that the University is currently shut down.
While clarifying that “The University is currently on Easter break from Wednesday 12th April to Sunday 23rd April 2017,” the Registrar insisted that “immediately after, the Mid-Semester examinations will hold from Thursday 27th to Friday 28th April ,2017.”
“Although, the University experienced recently a very common incident of unruly behaviour by some students who have appeared before the institution’s Students’ Disciplinaty Committee, leading to the expulsion and suspension of students found guilty, given the University’s highly cherised characater of a faith-based Christian institution governed by rules and regulations in conformity with Christian Ethics and commitment to raising Godly intellectuals.
“In this wise, the University insists that its students be disciplined, well dressed, punctual at lectures and worship service, among other requirements as dictated in the institution’s Students’ Handbook on rules and regulations. Consequently, the University will not allow any act of cultism, taking of narcotic drugs and alcohol, sexual immorality on campus and other dissident behaviours that are at variance with the principles of a faith-based institution.
“The Management is doing its best to ensure academic excellence, protection of the rights of the students, provision of sporting and recreational facilties, and a serene safe and conducive environment for learning. Moreover Ajayi Crowther University is comparatively a very low fee charging private University in Nigeria; the University allows payment of fees in three instalments. The University Hostel facilties, which provide students with the desired comfort, are owned and operated by Diocese of the Anglican Church. Fees charged for accomodation are not just inclusive of residency; electiricity, water, refuse disposal and salaries of hostel management staff are also components of the overall school fees.
“The University provides students with relatively adequate faciltiies to guarantee their peaceful and progressive study experiemce in the University. Expectedly, the University is staffed with distinguished Professors and other categories of qualified academic who ensure that the institution continually rank among the best in the various courses of offer in the University. In the same spirit, the University provide scholarship to students including cash awards to those who are recognised as University scholars on the basis of the exceptional students’ Cumulative Grade Point Averages (CGPAs) in First class and Second Class Upper Division. Gladly all academic programmes are accredited”.
