The Management of Abia State University (ABSU), Uturu, has banned the use of personal vehicles by students and flagrant display of wealth on campus.
In a terse memo by the registrar, Acho Elendu, the institution said henceforth, “only staff and accredited visitors would be allowed to drive their vehicles into the campus. “
The memo warned: “Any student who violates this directive, which is in the interest of the University community, shall face severe disciplinary action.”
The Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, had last week issued a similar directive banning students from driving their private cars into the campus, a directive interpreted as a measure of curbing obscene display of affluence by students.
