UNICAL sets committee to investigate final students’ violation of university regulations

The Management of the University of Calabar has set up a Special Committee under the leadership of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration, Prof. Eno Nta, to investigate the activities of some final-year students who recently flouted the university regulations resulting in the near breakdown of law and order.

The 10-Man Committee’s terms of reference include investigating the activities of individuals and groups that resulted in a near breakdown of law and order on campus and its environs on Monday and Tuesday, 12th and 13th August 2024.

Others include identification of those behind the uncivilised conduct and their roles, recommendation of appropriate punishment for all those found culpable of breach of peace on campus and its environs as well as submission of report to Management within two weeks from the date of inauguration.

The task of the committee is focused on the Departments of Mass Communication, Computer Science, Microbiology and Environmental Protection Management.

CONVERSEER reports that earlier, the Management of the University reiterated its position on the ban of wild celebrations occasioning reckless driving and flying of colours in and around the university campus.

A memo signed by the University Registrar, Mr Gabriel O. Egbe, states that it has become expedient to remind students, especially those in the final year, that the ban on wild celebrations within the campus and around the school gates, including all cult-related activities, still subsists.

The Memo reads in parts; “Management wishes to reiterate its stands on these unlawful activities by students of the University after their final year examinations under the guise of celebration at the end of their examination”.

“Members of the University Community, especially final-year students, are therefore urged to abide strictly by the directive as Management would not hesitate to sanction anyone found culpable in this regard.”

This is even as the Ag. Chief Security Officer has been directed to ensure full compliance with Management’s directive.
