UNIZIK Bans Final Year "Signing Off" Activities Indefinitely
Nnamdi Azikiwe University has banned all "signing off" activities for final year students. The move, announced in an official memo, is to curb chaos and keep the campus safe. Students are advised to take note and focus on their studies.
The news came like a sharp knock on the door. One of those announcements that change the usual rhythm of campus life. Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has drawn a hard line. No more "signing off" ceremonies for final year students, at least not on school grounds.
The Announcement
The decision did not float in the air as a rumour. It was stamped and signed in a memo dated 19 August 2025 by the Registrar, Dr. Chinenye Gloria Okeke. The note spelled it out clearly: the practice is banned and not just for now but indefinitely.

The reason? According to management, these events have grown messy. Instead of joy and farewell smiles, they have turned into scenes of chaos, sometimes even violence. Normal activities on campus were being disrupted and that was the last straw.
Why The Clampdown
The school pointed to two things. First, the security of students and staff. Second, the growing number of outsiders who troop into the campus during these send-off rituals. The memo described them as threats, strangers whose presence stirs up trouble.
Management says enough is enough. Anyone caught in the act, whether planning, joining or even tagging along with these banned activities, will face strong disciplinary action. Rustication was mentioned and that is no small word in a student's life.
For Outsiders
The memo went a step further. Outsiders who sneak into the campus to join in such events will not just be sent away. They will be arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, what lawyers call breach of peace. In simple terms, the school is not joking.
Final Word From The Registrar
In closing, Dr. Okeke urged students to keep their heads in the books and leave drama behind. The call was plain, focus on academics and report any shady happenings to the right authorities.
This move might sting, especially for those who looked forward to "signing off" as a rite of passage. Still, as one student whispered in frustration, "school no wan hear story, na exams dey front now." The message is clear: safety first, books second, parties last.
