Also speaking, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Labode Popoola commended the students for the campaign and advised them to continue wage war against all vices.

The VC who was represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Anthony Kola-Olusanya said, “Drug abuse, Sexual Harassments, exam Malpractices and cultism in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions are no longer new but it is now becoming rampant on daily basis and out of hand. Hence the reason why the University Management is glad that the student union of this great citadel of learning is taking this giant step to inform and enlighten their colleagues to say NO to this dangerous act.

“As you may be aware, UNIOSUN has zero tolerance to all these negative vices, if you are caught, the University will not desist to take appropriate sanction, which may include summary dismissal.

“Finally, I implore everyone to be worthy in character with strong integrity as the shameful acts of drug abuse, sexual harassment, exam malpractices and cultism are the worst thing that can ever happen to any student in the Institution,” Professor Kola-Olusanya added.
