The Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, on
Friday said it would start prosecuting students caught for cultism and
selling of bed space in the institution to serve as a deterrent to
others.
The Rector of the Polytechnic, Dr Taiwo
Akande, who said this while administering oath on 3,690 matriculating
students of the institution lamented that mere rustication was no longer
working.
She said the school would no longer
condone any act of illegality, including cyber crime, cultism and
illegal sale of bed spaces by students. Continue after the cut..
Advising students against taking steps
that could alter the academic calendar, she added that the institution
had made the passing of all entrepreneurship courses a prerequisite for
graduation.
She said, “Management has put in place a
vigilant security network to closely monitor students and sniff out the
bad eggs. Such unscrupulous elements will not be allowed to dent or
tarnish the hard earned image of this institution. Anybody caught will
be made to face the full weight of the law.
“It is most disturbing these days to
discover that many students sell their bed spaces at exorbitant amounts
to fellow students after being allocated bed spaces in the hostel. If
detected such students would not only be rusticated, he will
be prosecuted as well.”
The Rector disclosed that any student
that excelled in his academic career will be rewarded to
promote academic excellence the institution was noted for.
