The Elizade University, Ilara-mokin, Ondo State, has warned female students of the institution with pregnancies to stay away from school and lecture rooms during pregnancy.
The Vice-Chancellor of the school, Professor Olukayode Amund, who handed this warning during the 10th matriculation ceremony of the university, said the institution will not harbour pregnant students within the premises of the school.
Amund explained that the policy to ban pregnant women from the school was premised on the non-availability of facilities to attend to expectant mothers on campus, hence pregnant students are not allowed in the school.
The vice-chancellor who also warned the new intakes against any social vices said stringent measures will be melted on any student violating the institution’s regulations.
He disclosed that the new intakes were the highest since the establishment of the institution in 2012, and said 526 fresh students were admitted for the 2021/2022 academic session.
