The management of Ebonyi State University (EBSU) has placed a ban on post-examination celebration in and around the university’s campuses by the final year students of the institution.
The ban was announced in a statement signed by the EBSU Registrar, Jeremiah Nwamgbo, on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
Nwamgbo stated: “The management has observed with concern the unwarranted and boisterous celebrations by students after taking their final examinations. These celebrations have constituted security threats and have disrupted academic activities in the university.
“Consequently, the Vice-Chancellor has banned totally all forms of post-examination celebration within and around the university premises.
“This ban takes immediate effect. Punishment for any breach of this ban shall, among other measures, include cancellation of all the examinations taken by the celebrating students and arrest of offenders to serve as deterrent to others.

“Deans and Heads of Department (HoDs) are requested to monitor properly to ensure that their students comply with this ban.
“In a similar vein, the Students Union Government (SUG), President should adequately sensitise the students on the need to comply with this ban to avoid blaming anyone when sanction is applied.”
He also urged the Acting Chief Security Officers (CSOs) in the various annexes of the university, and College of Agricultural Sciences, Presco and Ishieke campuses, to take note of the ban for full enforcement.
The final year students of EBSU had embarked on wild merriment after their final examinations leading to blockage of the Abakaliki–Enugu expressway which resulted in a gridlock on the busy highway.
