The management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, the capital of Anambra State, has banned final-year students from holding post-examination celebrations on campus.
The UNIZIK Registrar, Dr. Chinenye Okeke, announced this via a statement issued on Tuesday, August 19, 2025.
Okeke, who said the ban was with immediate effect, hinged the university management’s decision on chaos, violence, and disruption of normal university activities.
Okeke stated: “The UNIZIK management wishes to inform you that, effective immediately, all forms of orchestration (‘signing off’) related to final examinations by final-year students are completely and indefinitely banned from the university premises.
“This decision responds to recurring incidents of chaos, violence, and disruption associated with these events.

“Furthermore, the presence of unauthorised individuals on campus poses a threat to the safety and security of students, staff, and the broader university community. In fulfilment of its obligation to maintain order, protect life, and safeguard property, the university management has taken this decisive step, deeming such activities unacceptable.
“Any student found involved in orchestration (‘signing off’) or related activities risks severe disciplinary measures, including rustication. Any outsiders entering the university premises to support such activities may face arrest and prosecution for disorderly conduct and breach of peace.”
Okeke added that UNIZIK management remains committed to providing a safe and secure environment for academic pursuits and will not tolerate actions undermining this commitment.
“We urge all students to focus on their academic responsibilities and report any instances of misconduct or threats to safety to the appropriate authorities,” the registrar noted.
