The Provost of the Federal College of Education (Technical), Akoka, Dr Wahab Azeez, has advised students to refrain from acts that will jeopardise their life ambitions.
Azeez gave the charge when he spoke at the matriculation ceremony of students of the 2022/2023 Nigeria Certificate in Education and Professional Diploma in Education.
He said, “As students, you are expected to exhibit discipline, loyalty, honesty, and good character at all times during your stay in the College. Avoid wasting your energy in pursuit of unlawful acts or destructive union activities that are tantamount to misplaced priorities and contribute to lowering of the standards of education.
“It is, therefore, advised that you combine both academic and moral excellence throughout your stay as a student in the college. You should refrain from all acts which are contrary to the rules and regulations of the college in order not to jeopardise the realisation of your life ambitions. These unsavoury acts include examination misconduct, admission fraud, certificate forgery, cultism, fighting, theft, extortion, rape, illicit drug dealings, membership of unlawful secret cults and societies, and so on.”
The provost also charged the students to reciprocate the good gesture of the college by working very hard and diligently to contribute their quota to the development of the country as citizens.
