VC of MOUAU Warns Against Examination Malpractice, Indecent Dressing, and Anti-Social Behavior
The Vice Chancellor (VC) of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umuahia (MOUAU), Professor Iwe, has announced that students involved in examination malpractice will face outright expulsion. This statement was made during the induction ceremony for the 4,781 new students admitted into various academic programs in the current academic session.
Professor Iwe emphasized that the university management maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards unethical behaviors, including examination malpractice, indecent dressing, cult activities, and other forms of anti-social conduct. He stressed that the university is a community dedicated to excellence in both character and learning, and it is committed to maintaining a high standard of moral decorum.
“A university is a community of decency and moral decorum. It’s a knowledge industry that transforms insipid people into jewels found worthy in character and learning,” said the VC.
He further explained that the university would soon introduce sanctions against indecent dressing, highlighting that MOUAU values decency and professionalism. He also reminded the students that it is still considered an admirable virtue for men to dress decently, moderately, and reasonably.
Professor Iwe urged the fresh students to be well-behaved, focus on their studies, and honor the financial investment made by their sponsors in their education. He also encouraged eligible students to apply for student loans from the Federal Government to ease the burden on their parents and sponsors.
The VC also reflected on the university’s progress under his leadership, noting that MOUAU is undergoing significant transformation, becoming “a digital and electronic institution.”
In closing, Professor Iwe commended the lecturers and staff for their commitment to shaping the students’ future and encouraged them to continue striving for excellence in their roles.
