By Favour Adinya, Fortune Erim And Kate Itam

In view of the euphoria that accompanies final examinations for final year students in Nigerian tertiary institutions which most times leads to casualties and destruction of properties, the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) has banned all forms of wild celebrations in and within the school environment.

The school management gave the directive in a circular number 438, saying there will be no signing out or pouring of water on one another by students after the examinations in the four campuses and its environs.

Reckless driving in motorcades with loudspeakers, flying of colors by any group of students and loitering around the examination are highly prohibited, the circular added.

The varsity stated that the directives are for a hitch-free and safe exams environment.

“This is to inform all Staff, Students and the General Public that the Management of the University is aware of the usual post examination celebrations especially by Final Year Students and the negative unwholesome consequences such celebrations usually have on the University Environment. Consequently, Management has directed as follows:
