”Also, membership of unregistered associations on campus, theft, armed robbery and other civil disturbances that may threaten the smooth running of academic actívities and calendar of the university won’t be tolerated,” Jimoh added.

He implored the matriculating students to familiarise themselves with the Students Code of Conduct, and all the existing rules and regulations of the institution.

“By way of emphasis, I want to remind you that the matriculation oath that was administered to you today, implies that you have willingly agreed to subject yourselves to all the rules and regulations of the university.

”I therefore advise you to constantly abide by the oath,” the KWASU VC added.
