In a shocking move, students of Ambrose Ali University have their final year exams canceled by the management of the university following notorious jubilation on campus by graduating students, otherwise known as final year brethren.
Mr Mike Ade Oladenika, Head of Information/Public Relations and Protocol of the institution, issued a statement saying that the graduating students violated the school’s law on campus jubilation.
An emergency meeting was held on Wednesday, and some departments in the Faculty of Arts, including Mass Communication, English and History, were affected by the school’s management decision.
The statement reads, “The University community is disturbed that despite the memo prohibiting wild jubilation and celebration on campus, graduating students from the faculty of Art, Department of Mass Communications, English, History, and International Studies violated the directive of the University Management.
“Graduating students from the affected departments were involved in car displays, use of sirens, spraying of money, shouting and hooting within the campus and also blocked the access road leading in and out of the University.
“The University Management, in an emergency meeting held today, Wednesday, 29 January, 2025, decided to invoke the extant laws on wild jubilation and celebration, thereby cancelling all final year examinations written on Wednesday, including but not limited to the following: ELS 411; MAC 414; HIS 416.”
There’s no further communication on when the exams will be rescheduled.
