The University of Ibadan has
shown leniency to a student who allegedly insulted the vice-chancellor on
Facebook.
The management of the institution
has annulled the expulsion of Kingsley Chinemerem Anyanwu.
Kingsley, a 100 level student,
was expelled for reportedly calling the VC, Abel Idowu Olayinka, insulting
names on social media.
Anyanwu was kicked out of the
school during the 2016/2017 session for gross misconduct after facing the
student disciplinary committee.
Following a show of remorse from
Anyanwu, the vice-chancellor forwarded his case to the committee for
reconsideration.
Anyanwu was pardoned and allowed
to resume with effect from the beginning of this current 2017/2018 academic
session.
“We are in loco parentis expected
to process them for the ultimate use of the society,” Sunday Saanu, the VC’s
media assistant, quoted him to have said.
“A 100 level student is still raw
and green.
“We take some of these insult and
embarrassment in our stride in order to ensure that they have a rosy future.
“But we will not hesitate to
wield a big stick for anyone considered to be incorrigible because the
certificate going out from UI must be based on sound character and learning.”
