The management of Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomoso in Oyo State, on Wednesday, banned students from driving or bringing cars to the campus.

The institution also banned tinted vehicles being used by staff members and students, while learner permits must be placed on the vehicles of beginner drivers.

A memo issued by the registrar of the institution, Kayode Ogunleye, a copy of which was obtained by The PUNCH in Ibadan, said the decision was reached at a management meeting held on Wednesday.

He said, “The University management at its regular meeting held, on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, deliberated on the occurrence of traffic on the campus and decided as follows:

“Vehicles owned by students are hereby banned from entering the university campus. Vehicles with no registration numbers are no longer allowed on campus. Roadside parking of vehicles should stop forthwith.”

The registrar also said unauthorised vehicles parked at various locations in the university should be taken out with immediate effect.

“Any unauthorized vehicles parked at various positions in the university should be taken out with immediate effect, failing which the university security will take appropriate action on such vehicles.

“Tinted vehicles being used by some staff and students are hereby prohibited. Learner permits must be placed on the vehicles of beginner drivers.

“The acting vice chancellor, bursar, university Liberian, provosts and deans, directors, heads of departments/units and acting head of security unit were copied in the memo,” Ogunleye said.

The way these useless students intimidates lectures in the universityby flaunting expensive cars, why won't they ban students from using cars?

What kind of stupid policy is this. So they want their students to be poor. Here in Europe students come with their cars. I don't understand why we are still thinking backward. We really need help

These rules were not made overnight. In Europe students know how to behave with their cars, they don't go and park it in lecturers exclusive parking space.

They don't also park their cars in spots marked for deans and VCs.

Some students even use their car to block that of the lecturers intentionally so you have to search for them before you drive out.

I do believe a car park will be made for them at an exclusive spot outside the lecture area.

It's just a disciplinary measure till solution is found.

Some students are very wayward not just reckless when it comes to driving...

This is a poorly conceived University management decision - and my reason for stating this isn't because I do not acknowledge the driving and traffic problems that had led to this, but because it is a primitive approach by the University.

It only tells how lowly the standards of education and consequently the governance/administration of same, has descended in Nigeria. Short-sighted, quick-fix, hurried management decisions like this should not emanate from what should be the Ivory Towers of Nigeria. LAUTECH is ordinarily a third or fourth-generation Nigerian university and a first-generation Nigerian State University, if I am not mistaken.

What happens when you ban all students from driving cars is that you would have to check if every car driven in the school is by a visitor or staff.

In that case, do you deprive working-class postgraduate students from using their cars - as the release did not distinguish between classes of students.

Would you deprive children of university staff e.g professors, who are students of the university, from driving their parents cars e.g to pick their siblings from primary or secondary school on campus premises?

Would you deprive university staff who are junior lecturers and also postgraduate STUDENTS from driving their cars on campus - where they are students and lecturers at the same time?

How would you ask everyone driving into the school gate for studentship? How do you differentiate students from other schools, or other young people coming for inquiries and driving their cars from LAUTECH students if the former do not bear such educational means of identification card?

The university management and council should ordinarily be infallible, so to speak. LAUTECH may have dropped the ball with this sweeping ban. It leaves a metallic taste.

Animalistic thinking. Schools are centres of learning and not social competition hubs where criminality and vices are breed. I don't blame you much, abuse is inevitable when purpose is lacking.

BTW, stop watching too many Hollywood movies.

Good, if the students won't listen to the school rules and regulations driving well within campus pls let them ban them. Lautech na headquarters of Yahoo Boys in Nigeria, may God help us

Lol.


Okay

Is not your fault because you have not travel out of your village and bush state. Keep defending trash and exposing your self as a village champion. Does having cars prevent the students from learning? Poverty is really affecting you.

Don't boda replying some people..

The problem of Nigerians is localness and bushness.

Intimidation should stay outside the school, so let them stop give their mate suicidal tendercies..

This is pure rubbish! The students should protest against this obvious social sentiment, meted out against them, by the school authority!!

In western world (especially the US), high school students are already entitled to a car..

Black man and black mentality of backwardness!!!

awon omo yauyau don frustrate and pepper lecturers dem

Interesting development. Those days, driving on campus was to ease stress, nowadays the cars some students drive shows they want to oppress, cars that their parents can't afford even after 35 years of working.

Unfortunately, most of these cars are bought from proceeds of crimes. Such oppression end up driving many more students into crime as they too need to belong.

The school authorities reason for this ban is not convincing enough though.

LAUTECH that is not man enough school enough still had to put a ban on students driving into their facility with a car...

Big boys on campus go vex, while broke boys go dey jubilate, based on the oppression and intimidation.

Are they babies

Boys don too intimidate them
