The management of Kogi state polytechnic has banned student’s end-of-exam celebration.
The decision has been strictly pronounced to attract sanction of any students that may fail to abide to the order.
In a flyer signed by the school registrar, Mr Aiyeetan Sunday expressed the school decision and ordered students to stick fast to the school orders such as no splashing of water, no frivolous gathering, no loitering around after examination and other forms of merriments.
VAM news learnt that the decision has been earlier placed on students early this year. The management had explained that the decision is not in anyway an attempt to cut short the joy of their law abiding students who have every reason to mark an important milestone in their lives.Here is the few statement of the management then;
As a Management, we have no reason whatsoever to go against such celebration if conducted with civility and decorum.
In times past, including mine as a student, examination celebration was all about handshake, hugging, and other merriments devoid of social upheavals.
But events in recent years have proved that this is is no longer the case.
Instead, what we now have in most cases is the despicable use of water (both dirty and clean) mixed with soap, kerosene and other dangerous chemicals to immerse colleagues who have just graduated.
In the name of such celebration, students even drive recklessly on campus and causing avoidable accident; a clear instance was a case of a female student who almost lost her legs in Kogi State University Anyigba in 2017 as a result of such careless driving.
In a recent update, the statement has been uplifted with penalties. This is the management conclusion;
“You are advised to obey the order as anyone caught would be sanctioned accordingly”
