ABUAD MATRICULATES 1,980 STUDENTS; WARNS AGAINST VIOLENT CONDUCT ON CAMPUS







The management of the Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti (ABUAD) on Tuesday warned its newly matriculated 1,980 students that those with tendencies for drug abuse, cultism and rape would have no room to operate in the institution.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the ABUAD’s Vice- Chancellor (VC), Prof. Michael Ajisafe, said this during the 9th matriculation of the institution held in Ado Ekiti.



Ajisafe said that the institution had zero tolerance for all forms of social vices. He said the university had got accreditation for all
its courses and that there would not be any reason for students to be afraid of the future.
He advised the students not to abuse the academic independence they would enjoy on campus, saying any decision they take at this moment would either truncate or enhance their future’s glories. He added that ABUAD was ranked in 2017 as the second best private university in Nigeria and 13 on the Webometric ranking among the 268 universities in the country, describing the feat as novel in the history of education in the country.
“Hard work as is being practised by our founder, Chief Afe Babalola, (SAN) doesn’t kill. ”But let me say this, there will be avalanche of influences and pressures in the university from which you are not insulated. You must be resolute, stand firm and toe the path of rectitude.
“You must be able to say no when you need to say no. You must appreciate the fact that there is a thin line between sublime and
ridiculous. 

The university gives scholarships to very bright students and also students who are indigent but bright. “ Our founder, Chief Afe Babalola has graciously put in place a programme whereby those with good CGPA go home with between N100,000 and N500, 000 of his own personal money every year”, he said. He told the students to “cultivate good personalities, learn the value of time management, remain focused and be visionary as well as have positive attitudes to life and situations for theirs not to be shattered”.
