The Management of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, has once again cautioned its final year students against engaging in ‘sign-out’ celebrations, stressing that any student or group of students who violates the directive will face stiffer sanctions.

In a circular issued by the Student Affairs Division on Friday, September 12, 2025, and signed by the Dean of Student Affairs, Professor Musa Salihu Ewugi, graduating students were reminded that the restriction was not new, but a reinforcement of an earlier circular dated February 9, 2023.

The University’s decision, according to him, is aimed at maintaining peace and order, discipline, and protect the good image of the institution.

The circular explained that activities usually associated with sign-out celebrations, such as writing or signing on shirts, reckless or convoy driving of cars and motorcycles, inviting outsiders to congregate within or around the University, as well as wearing unusual attires and drinking alcohol, remain strictly prohibited.

Professor Ewugi emphasized that the University would not tolerate any deviation from the directive, warning that violators would be subjected to disciplinary measures.

He added that the reminder was necessary as some students often disregard earlier instructions, stressing that the Management’s position on the matter remains firm.
