DELSU Fights CultismCultists will be expelled, names published in newspapers, internet — VC

The Vice Chancellor of Delta State University (DELSU), Prof. Victor Peretomode has warned students of the institution to stay away from cultism or risk expulsion and further punitive measures.

Students caught engaging in cultism will be expelled and disgraced through reports in national dailies and the internet, says the Vice Chancellor of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, Prof. Victor Peretomode.

Peretomode said this as the weekend while administering the oath to 4,361 newly matriculated students for the 2014/2015 academic session.

The Vice Chancellor warned the students to diligently observe the rules and regulations of the University and stay away from, cultism which is banned in the institution.

"Any student caught indulging in any form of cultism in the campus will not only be thrown out, his or her name will be published in all national dailies and the internet," Peretomode said.

He added that other acts of indiscipline will be equally punished.

"The University takes serious exception on issues that bothers on indiscipline and lawlessness, particularly when such actions involve violence, cultism, examination malpractice, indecent dressing among others classified as breach of matriculation oath."

Cultism is a major problem that has claimed many students’ lives in Nigerian tertiary institutions.

Only last week, the Vice Chancellor of the Lagos State University (LASU), Professor John Obafunwa, warned newly admitted students to steer clear of 'evil' cultism or risk expulsion.
