The Lagos State University Senate, at its 306th Statutory Meeting held on Thursday, 25th January 2024, considered a paper Ref: LASU/SEN/ST.306/063 on the report concerning the signing-out funfair by final-year students.
The announcement was made by the University’s Senate.
During the meeting, Senate noted the following:
- The Students' Affairs Division observed a flagrant disregard for rules and regulations guiding students’ conduct in the University during signing-out funfairs.
- Final-year students invited friends who were not students to the campus to celebrate with them.
- Students engaged in drinking alcoholic beverages, smoking weed and cigarettes, using shisha, and dressing indecently.
- Disc jockeys and musical equipment were brought onto the school premises.
- While the funfairs were ongoing, some students were still writing examinations, and members of the National Universities Commission (NUC) Accreditation Teams were on campus.
- The crowd of students and their invitees, alongside indiscriminate parking, led to traffic congestion on campus.
- The Students' Affairs Division, Security Unit, and some Deans struggled to control the crowd.
- The activities left the University environment dirty and untidy.
Senate expressed concern and condemned in totality the actions of graduating students in the name of signing-out funfair parties. After extensive deliberation, Senate decided as follows:
-
Henceforth, all final-year students must sign an undertaking not to organise any funfair or party in the name of signing out.
-
For any signing-out event to be organised, students must:
- Not play music at the occasion.
- Not bring food, cake, or drinks from outside the premises.
- Not invite or bring any visitors.
- Not bring any canopy or tent onto campus.
-
Any student or group of students found violating the above regulations shall be rusticated for one academic session, and all examinations written by the student(s) in their final year shall be cancelled. This implies such student(s) will pay another tuition fee, re-register courses, and re-write all final-year examinations.
