The Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Port Harcourt, has prohibited final-year students from organising signing-out ceremonies, vehicle parades, graduation parties and related activities on campus.
The directive was issued in view of the current security situation on the university campus and affects students currently taking their final-year examinations.
The notice, dated 14 September 2026, was addressed to all final-year and graduating students by the Office of the Registrar.
IAUE Prohibits Signing-Out Activities
Under the new directive, graduating students are not permitted to hold activities associated with signing out from the university. Specifically, the prohibited activities include signing-out ceremonies, vehicle parades and graduation parties, among other related activities.
The university explained that the decision was made against the backdrop of the current security situation on campus.
The restriction applies to final-year students who are presently sitting for their final examinations, meaning students are expected to comply with the directive while completing their academic activities.
Defaulters Face Disciplinary Action
The management warned that students who disregard the directive will face serious consequences.
According to the notice, defaulters will be rusticated and will also face the full weight of the law.
The warning underscores the university's position that final-year students must comply with the restriction rather than proceed with prohibited celebrations or public activities.
Final-Year Students Asked to Leave Campus After Exams
IAUE further instructed final-year students to leave the campus peacefully once they have completed their final examinations.
The university appealed to the affected students to cooperate with the directive and avoid activities that could conflict with the current security considerations on campus.
For students approaching the end of their academic programmes, the immediate priority under the directive is therefore to complete their examinations and depart the campus after finishing their final papers.
Directive Issued by the Office of the Registrar
The communication was issued from the Office of the Registrar, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt.
It was signed by Precious Eke, for Registrar, and copied to the Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, Deans of Faculties, Heads of Department, Chief Security Officer, Public Relations Officer and all notice boards.
The university wished the final-year students the best while seeking their cooperation with the new directive.
What Final-Year Students Should Know
Based strictly on the university's notice, affected students should take note of the following:
- Signing-out ceremonies are prohibited.
- Vehicle parades are prohibited.
- Graduation parties are prohibited.
- The restriction is linked to the current security situation on campus.
- Defaulters will be rusticated and may also face the full weight of the law.

Conclusion
The directive places clear restrictions on celebratory activities traditionally associated with the completion of final-year examinations at IAUE. Students affected by the notice are expected to comply with the university's instructions and conclude their examinations without organising the prohibited activities.
