‘’With the matriculation exercise today, the students have entered into a contractual agreement with the university as full-fledged students with rights, privileges and obligations attached to their new status, ‘’Prof Abdulkarim said.

He charged them to channel their complaints to the Student Union Government or Dean of Students Affairs because the university frown at students taking laws into their hands, adding that the new students should familiarize themselves with the students’ handbook, which contains all the rules and regulations of the university.
