Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University, Makurdi (MOAUM) has officially banned all signing-out celebrations on campus. According to the Management, this decision was made to protect peace, safety, and academic focus, especially during examination periods. Therefore, all students are expected to fully understand and respect this policy at all times.
Why the Ban Was Introduced
In previous sessions, signing-out celebrations often brought:
- Loud music and noise
- Shouting and dancing around academic buildings
- Colourful displays of shirts, markers, and cloth banners
These celebrations usually took place close to exam halls and reading areas, distracting students who were still preparing for or writing their papers. As a result, several students experienced stress, loss of concentration, and reduced academic performance.
Moreover, large crowds made movement difficult across campus. Security personnel found it challenging to control gathering points, especially around lecture halls and walkways. To prevent disorder and maintain safety, the University decided to stop all signing-out activities on campus.

What Exactly Is Banned?
Every form of signing-out celebration is banned on campus, including:
✔ Group signing-out gatherings
✔ Shirt-signing displays that attract crowds
✔ Noise-making activities near lecture halls or reading areas
✔ Any activity linked to graduation celebrations that may disturb others
Even if a signing-out activity seems small, students must treat it as banned once it takes place on campus.
Respect for Students Still Writing Exams
Many students are still working hard on their exams while others have finished. They deserve a calm environment to read, concentrate, and perform well. Celebrations near exam venues can easily:
- Break their focus
- Cause unnecessary anxiety
- Lead to lower grades and missed opportunities
By keeping the campus quiet, MOAUM protects every student’s right to learn and succeed.
Campus Security and Order
Beyond noise, signing-out events can cause heavy foot traffic across campus. When large groups begin to move around, it becomes difficult to identify genuine students and visitors. This makes it harder for security officers to respond quickly to real emergencies.
The University therefore believes that maintaining order and safety is far more important than holding celebrations on campus.
Consequences for Breaking the Rule
Students who ignore this directive may face disciplinary actions, including:
- An invitation to appear before a disciplinary panel
- Official records of misconduct
- Further penalties as stated in the university regulations
These actions are not meant to punish, but to ensure that every student respects community rules and helps maintain a peaceful learning environment.
Final Advice to Graduating Students
Graduation is a moment to celebrate—but celebrations must be responsible and respectful. students who wish to mark their achievements are encouraged to:
- Hold celebrations off-campus
- Avoid disrupting academic activities
- Maintain respect for others still preparing for exams
MOAUM appreciates the efforts of all students and believes that with cooperation, everyone can enjoy a safe and academically focused campus.
Wishing all students success in their exams and future careers! 🎓✨
