UNIZIK Students Sent Out Of Campus For Violating Sign-Out Ban

Tension broke out at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, on Thursday after the institution moved to enforce its ban on the popular post-examination “signing off” tradition among final-year students.

Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) in Awka, Anambra State, has imposed an indefinite ban on the traditional "signing off" ceremony for graduating students after their examinations. The ban, which took immediate effect, aims to curb growing incidents of violence, disorder, and security threats associated with the event.

UNIZIK's management emphasizes its commitment to safety and academic excellence, urging students to focus on their academic responsibilities and report any misconduct or threats to the appropriate authorities. This decision aligns with other universities in Nigeria cracking down on unruly final-year celebrations, prioritizing safety and order above tradition.
