FUWUKARI SUG Bans Bottle Breaking and Wine Pouring During Graduation Celebrations

The Students’ Union Government (SUG) of Federal University Wukari (FUWUKARI) has officially prohibited the breaking of bottles and the pouring of wine during "signing-out" ceremonies for final-year students.

In an official memorandum dated March 12, 2026, the Union expressed growing concern over these disruptive practices, which have become a common feature of end-of-session celebrations on campus.

Safety and Environmental Concerns

The Union leadership, led by President Comr. Mathias Urerimam, noted that the University Management strongly frowns upon such behaviors. The memo highlighted that breaking glass bottles creates significant environmental litter and poses a direct risk of physical injury to members of the university community.

"Such behavior is considered inappropriate and inconsistent with the values of the institution," the statement read.

Disciplinary Consequences

The SUG has advised all graduating students to desist from these activities with immediate effect. The directive warned that any student found engaging in bottle breaking or wine pouring will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the established rules and regulations of the University.

A Call for Responsible Celebration

The memorandum, co-signed by the General Secretary, Comr. Useni Nuhu, urged the graduating class to celebrate their academic achievements responsibly. The Union emphasized the need for students to maintain the "dignity and safety" of the university environment as they conclude their studies.

This move by the SUG aligns with broader efforts to ensure that graduation festivities remain joyful without compromising the security or cleanliness of the campus.
