The executives of the student union of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) led by the President, Olanrewaju Muideen, on Tuesday held a campaign against drug abuse, sexual harassment, exam malpractices and cultism in the state, AMILOADED reports.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Anthony Kola-Olusanya, who graced the event, declared the campaign opened on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Labode Popoola.
Speaking, the Deputy VC expressed joy at the campaign as he enjoined the student union to continue to be focused in waging war against drug abuse, cultism, amongst others in the institution.
He said, “Drug abuse, Sexual Harassments, exam Malpractices and cultism in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions are no longer new but it is now becoming rampant on daily basis and out of hand.
“Hence the reason why the University Management is glad that the student union of this great citadel of learning is taking this giant step to inform and enlighten their colleagues to say NO to this dangerous act.
“As you may be aware, UNIOSUN has zero tolerance to all these negative vices, if you are caught, the University will not desist to take appropriate sanction, which may include summary dismissal.
“Finally, I implore everyone to be worthy in character with strong integrity as this shameful act of drug abuse, sexual harassment, exam malpractices and cultism are the worst thing that can ever happen to any student in the Institution,” Prof. Kola-Olusanya stated.
The President of the student union, Olaniyi Muideen, while reacting to the speech delivered by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, thank the VC “for his fatherly role and exemplary leadership which has been the major guide behind the student union’s campaign against negative vices”.
He further stated that the campaign was specifically created to orientate students and inform the general public on the danger of drug abuse, sexual harassment, exam malpractices and cultism.
Muideen, therefore, advised the students of the institution “to be focused on their studies, maintain good character and ensure they visit the counseling unit of the university anytime they have challenges or been harassed.
