University of Benin Mandates Good Conduct Affidavit for Exam Eligibility Upon School Resumption
The University of Benin has enacted a new policy banning the use of hot plates, ring boilers, and gas cookers in its hostels to address rising energy costs.
This decision follows a significant increase in the university’s electricity bill, which escalated from N88 million to N250 million monthly due to a dispute with the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC).
The heightened billing led to the disconnection of the university’s two campuses, triggering student protests on July 3 after prolonged power outages and reliance on generators.
In response to the crisis and subsequent closure of the university to maintain order, the university management, led by Registrar Ademola Bobola, has issued a new circular detailing the conditions for the institution’s reopening.
Key among these conditions is a mandate requiring students to sign a new affidavit of good conduct upon their return. This affidavit will serve as a commitment to adhere to the university’s rules and regulations.
Additionally, students must settle any outstanding levies before resuming classes. Proof of payment will be necessary to gain entry into examination halls.
The university administration has emphasized strict monitoring to ensure compliance with this policy.
Students are also reminded to avoid any behavior that contravenes university regulations, including participating in unauthorized assemblies or demonstrations.
By implementing these measures, the University of Benin aims to stabilize its energy expenses and ensure a disciplined academic environment.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
