KWASU Condemns Student Protest Over Exam Venue Change, Labels It Unjustified
Daily Post reports that the Management of Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, has condemned the protest staged by students from its Study Centre at the Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies (CAILS). The university described the protest as unjustified and driven by individuals aiming to disrupt the integrity of the scheduled examinations.
In a statement issued by the Registrar, Dr. Kikeloma Sallee, in Ilorin, KWASU refuted claims from CAILS management, stating that their allegations of not being informed about the change of examination venue were baseless and intended to create confusion.
“The public needs to note that Kwara State University has two external locations for its Sandwich Degree Programme: Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies and Imam Hamzat College of Education.
“These two institutions are not affiliated to Kwara State University. Rather, they are study centres of the University for the sandwich degree programme. This implies that the concerned students are fully under the administration of Kwara State University.
“The University is therefore not required to seek the authorization of CAILS before making decisions on the concerned students.
“As such, all sandwich degree students of that study centre will be guided by the standards KWASU sets.
“The decision of KWASU management to centralize the examination venue for all the sandwich degree students of the institution was taken to protect the sanctity of the examination and ensure standardization of the evaluation process.
“This was communicated to all the students in an orientation exercise conducted by KWASU's Institute of Education (IOE) on Wednesday, October 2, 2024.
“The venue communicated to the students is the KWASU Conference Centre, located behind Ayoka Petrol Station, along old Jebba Road, Agric area, Ilorin.
“This was expressly communicated to the students at the orientation exercise almost two weeks ago and not three days before the examination as mischievously presented by CAILS management.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Kwara State University will not compromise the quality of any of its processes, nor will the university be swayed by propaganda peddled to coerce it into deviating from its stance on ensuring the quality of its products.
“The examination for the sandwich degree programme, which has been scheduled to hold centrally at the KWASU conference centre, will not change, and the affected students are advised to take note,” the management declared.
