The VC, Prof. Olusola Oyewole (standing) addressing Student Leaders on the University’s regulations.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olusola Bandele Oyewole has foreclosed late registration among students, warning that none of them will be allowed to register after two weeks of resumption, as stipulated in the University regulations.
Professor Oyewole stated this even as he disclosed that nine out of the 10 students of the College of Management Sciences that wrote the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) examinations excelled in flying colours, while over 34,000 candidates jostled for admission into the University.
Professor Oyewole noted with dismay that some students had formed the habit of abusing the privilege of late registration by not registering within the mandatory two weeks of resumption, as stipulated.
According to him, “I want to tell our dear students through their leaders that are here today that it is now mandatory for them to get registered within two weeks of resumption, because I am surprised that some students were still registering when the semester examinations were on.
“Our regulation stipulates registration within two weeks of resumption. I am not interested in your money. My interest lies in inculcating discipline and values that will ensure your progress in life”, he stated.
The Vice-Chancellor assured the students that lectures will commence immediately on resumption.
He, however, expressed joy that nine of the 10 students of the College of Management Sciences (COLMAS), established only last year, had done the University proud, by passing ICAN examinations in flying colours.
He attributed the feat to the ingenuity of professionals that tutored the students, assuring that “COLMAS will soon be a subject of envy on campus”.
Professor Oyewole also disclosed that over 34,000 students sought admission into the University, revealing that only about 3,500 of them will eventually be admitted.
The Vice-Chancellor used the occasion to implore those trying to cause disharmony on campus by attempting to fan the embers of discord between students and the lecturers to have a rethink.
