The management of Delta State University, Abraka has placed an immediate ban on “Sign Out” parties and all forms of unruly celebrations on all university campuses ahead of the 2025\/2026 second semester examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media Conversation reports that the directive was contained in an Official Bulletin issued by the institution\u2019s public relations unit today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the bulletin, the ban was necessitated by security concerns, intelligence reports, and the need to safeguard lives and property during the examination period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis directive is in response to security concerns, intelligence reports, and the need to safeguard lives and property during the 2025\/2026 second semester\/final year Examinations,\u201d the bulletin stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents are therefore advised to desist from any activity capable of disrupting peace, endangering lives, or compromising the security of the university community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University Management warned that the act constitutes misconduct under its regulations and attracts severe penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bulletin noted that violators risk disciplinary sanctions, including rustication for up to two semesters, as provided in page 53 of the Students\u2019 Union Constitution and other extant university regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the bulletin stated that the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Samuel Asagba, has directed University Security Personnel to arrest and hand over any student found violating the directive for appropriate disciplinary action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DELSU management urged all members of the university community, particularly final year students, to be guided by the directive and to conduct themselves peacefully during and after examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sign Out” parties, where final year students wear white T-shirts and celebrate the end of examinations, have in recent years been associated with rowdiness, property damage, and security breaches in several Nigerian universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the management of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka has announced that applications are now open for admission into its new Diploma programmes under the Centre for Continuing Education Programmes for the 2026\/2027 academic session.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a public noticed obtained by Media Conversation, the university said the initiative is designed to provide an alternative pathway for candidates seeking admission into their courses of choice without waiting endlessly for JAMB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
