The Vice Chancellor of Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, Professor Shaykh Luqman Jimoh, has expressed disappointment and concern over the negative conduct of some students in viral social media videos.
In the videos, the students wore the university’s matriculation gowns and portrayed themselves in a manner that reflected poorly on the institution.
According to Professor Jimoh, the students involved in the videos have been identified and will face disciplinary action. He emphasized that the university is committed to upholding the excellence and integrity that it was founded upon, and will not tolerate any attempts to trivialize the hard work and efforts of its students and staff.
“As a University, we are committed to upholding the excellence with which the institution was founded. We will resist any attempt to trivialise the hard work of many years by anyone from any quarters.
“The students in those videos have been identified and will be made to face disciplinary actions. This is to caution them and others from trivialising what should be treated with honour.
“I must reiterate that KWASU belongs to you, KWASU belongs to me, KWASU belongs to all of us. We must protect her name and image. I urge you all, my dear students, to collectively resist any motivation to cast your institution in any negative light,” he said.
The Vice Chancellor described the videos as a disservice to the institution and its values, which are founded on principles of excellence. He reminded students that KWASU is a part of their identity and that they have a responsibility to protect its name and integrity.
Professor Jimoh urged students to resist any motivation to cast the institution in a negative light and to focus on being the best version of themselves. He noted that thousands of KWASU graduates have gone on to achieve great things around the world and that current students should strive to follow in their footsteps.
In conclusion, the Vice Chancellor pleaded with students to be law-abiding and to focus on their academic pursuits. He assured them that the university will provide all necessary support to ensure that they become the best version of themselves.
