The Management of Nasarawa State Polytechnic, Lafia has threatened to handover any student caught indulging in cultism to the police for prosecution.
The Rector, Dr Silas Gyar, made the threat on Saturday in Lafia at the matriculation ceremony of the students of the Consultancy Services Unit of the institution.
Gyar, who was represented by Luis John-Ogah, Dean School of General Studies, said that the Polytechnic had zero tolerance for cultism.
He advised those who were members of cult groups before gaining admission to denounce their membership of such unholy group before they are caught.
The rector explained that anyone caught engaging in cultism in the school would be expelled and handed over to the law enforcement agencies for prosecution.
Gyar said: “The management under my watch has taken this step in order to sanitise the system and to ensure totally eradication of bad eggs among the students.
“You must attend lectures at all times as 70 per cent attendance is the pre-requisite to write examination and be prepared to cross many huddles, adhere to the rules and regulations of the polytechnic.
“Anyone caught indulging in other social vices such as examination malpractice, drunkenness, drug abuse, indecent dressing, idolatry among others will face disciplinary committees and be sanction accordingly.”
However, Rabiu Omaku and Rebecca John, who are new students, said that they would abide by the rules of the school in order to achieve the purpose of gaining admissions into the polytechnic.
A total of 409 new students were matriculated on Thursday.
