Provost urges matriculating students to shun cultism

The Provost of the Federal Cooperative College in Ibadan, Dr Stephen Oyeleye, has issued a warning to the matriculating students on the school’s zero tolerance for misconduct which included thuggery and cultism.

The Provost noted this in his address, according to a statement on Saturday, during the college’s 81st matriculation where over 400 students were welcomed into the institution.

Oyeleye said, “My dear matriculants, I welcome you wholeheartedly to the Federal Cooperative College, Eleyele and Ibadan- the first Cooperative Monotechnic in the West African sub-region as the 81st set of students to drink from the pool of knowledge of the college.

“This is an institution where indolence, indiscipline, thuggery, hooliganism and cultism are not tolerated. Rather, the hallmarks of the college for which we have been known for these past 80 years are discipline, hard work, resilience, obedience, academic brilliance and good conduct. The college has taken steps to metamorphose into a polytechnic.”

Also speaking at the event, the Registrar of the College, Dr Victoria Ademilua, emphasised the importance of using their time at the college wisely.

She said, “The years spent at the college are a precious gift, and urged the students to make the most of them by engaging in both academic and extracurricular activities.”
