The Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Professor Clement Adebooye, has warned students of the institution to shun cultism, examination malpractice, fraud, cybercrime, drug abuse and other social vices capable of destroying their academic careers and future prospects.
Professor Adebooye gave the warning while addressing students of the university, stressing that UNIOSUN operates a zero-tolerance policy towards behaviours capable of undermining discipline, academic excellence and the reputation of the institution.
The Vice-Chancellor urged students to remain focused on their studies and take full advantage of the opportunities provided by the university to develop themselves academically, professionally and morally.
He cautioned students against allowing peer pressure or negative associations to derail their educational pursuits, noting that involvement in cult-related activities and other criminal behaviour could have serious consequences for their future.
Adebooye also warned students against examination malpractice, fraud, cybercrime and drug abuse, urging them to conduct themselves in ways that would bring honour to themselves, their families and the university.
He further advised students to be responsible in their use of social media, warning against activities that could portray the university in a negative light.
According to him, any negative image projected about the institution could also affect the academic and professional prospects of its students.
The Vice-Chancellor encouraged students who encounter challenges or witness suspicious activities on campus to report them promptly to the appropriate university authorities rather than taking the law into their own hands.
He reiterated the university management’s commitment to providing a conducive environment for learning while maintaining discipline and protecting the welfare and future of its students.
Professor Adebooye urged the students to remain committed to academic excellence, character development and responsible citizenship, stressing that their time at the university should be used to build a valuable and productive future.
“Do not engage in activities that will derail your journey.
You are here to build a life of value,” the Vice-Chancellor admonished the students.
