The Lagos State University Senate at its 306th Statutory Meeting held on Thursday, 25th January 2024, considered a paper Ref: LASU/SEN/ST.306/063 on a report on signing-out funfair by final year students after the 2022/2023 Academic Session Second Semester examination.
Senate, during consideration of the paper, noted that:
i. The Student Affairs Division had observed flagrant disregard for rules and regulations guiding students conducts in the University during supposed Signing-Out Funfairs by the Final Year Students;
ii. The final year students also invited their friends (who were not students of the university) to the campus to felicitate with them;
iii. The students threw caution to the winds as they drank alcohol beverages, smoked weeds and cigarettes, drugged on shisha, and dressed very indecently;
iv. Disc Jockeys/Musical equipment were brought into the school premises;
v. While the signing-out funfairs were going on, some students were still writing their examination, and members of National Universities Commission (NUC) Accreditation Teams were on campus for accreditation of some programmes;
vi. The crowd of students and their invitees and indiscriminate parking of their vehicles also led to traffic congestion on the campus;
vii. The Student Affairs Division, Security Unit, and some Deans had hectic time controlling the crowd; and
viii. The students also made the university environment so dirty and untidy.
Senate expressed concerns and CONDEMNED in totality the unbecoming actions of graduating students in the name of signing-out funfair parties.
Senate after extensive deliberation DECIDED as follows:
1. Henceforth, all final year students are to sign an undertaking not to organise any funfair/party in the name of signing out;
2. For signing-out to be organised, students should:
a. Not play any music at such occasion;
b. Not bring food/cake/drinks from outside the premises for such occasion;
c. Not invite or bring any visitor to such occasion; and
d. Not bring to campus any canopy/tent for such occasion.
3. Any student or group of students found violating the above regulations shall be RUSTICATED for one (1) academic session and all examinations written by the student or group of students at final year shall be cancelled. Meaning such student(s) will have to pay another tuition fee, re-register the courses, and re-write the final year examinations.
All final year students are therefore enjoined to adhere strictly to the decisions of Senate.
