VC warns students against social vices

Vice Chancellor of the Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, FUNAI, Professor Ibidapo-Obe Oye, has warned students and personnel of the university to shun all forms of social vices that are capable of tarnishing the image and status of the institution.

Speaking to journalists in his office, Professor Oye, said the university will not condone any form of thuggery, cultism, examination malpractice or other social vices.
Professor Oye expressed the institution’s determination to provide qualitative education for its students and a conducive environment for learning and teaching.
He explained that FUNAI had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with five foreign universities as a way of adding value to the academic activities and upgrading the status of the institution.
“We need quality education in this country. Universities are universal properties; we want our students to be at par with other institutions. We need to restore the confidence of university education. We want everybody to be employable that is our target as a university”
He expressed dismay over the incessant industrial strikes in Nigeria which, he said, has contributed to the fall of educational standard.
He therefore solicited for firms and private individuals’ partnership towards the funding of education, saying the issue of education is everybody’s responsibility, hence the need for collective effort to improve the sector.
