The University of Calabar (UNICAL) in Cross River State has reiterated its ban on wild post-examination celebrations and other acts capable of disrupting peace on campus.
The UNICAL Registrar, Dr Chukwuka Icha, conveyed the management’s directive in a statement issued on Monday, July 20, 2026.
Icha expressed concern that some students, particularly final-year students, engaged in unlawful celebrations after their final examinations.
According to her, such celebrations often involve reckless driving, flying of colours, and other forms of disorderly conduct.
She advised all students, especially finalists, to desist from such acts and comply with the university’s regulations.
Icha stated: “The ban on wild celebrations within the campus, around the school gates and all cult-related activities remain in force.

“The management will not hesitate to sanction any student or group found violating the directive.”
Icha added that the acting Chief Security Officer had been directed to ensure strict enforcement across the campus and its environs.
The UNICAL registrar urged members of the university community to take note of the directive and comply accordingly.
It would be recalled that in 2024, there was a crash in the university premises which involved final year students who just wrote their last paper and were celebrating wildly on campus.
