It also banned the selling of beverages and warned business centres against printing invoices and photocopying at illicit prices.

The press release said ”Students are by this notice informed to report any kind of extortion and exploitation to the Students Union Government for necessary actions.

“Students are also encouraged to obey the school rules and regulations and the SUG code of conduct as enshrined in the SUG constitution.

”Be informed that anybody caught defrauding/going contrary to the stipulations of grand norm guiding the institution will be severely punished”.
