With the aim of seeking promotion of good character and ethical orientation among all members of the university community and its environs, aside awarding degrees based on learning and character, the University of Ibadan’s Centre for Social Orientation (CenSO) has gone on an anti-cultism visitation to Community High School, Ajibode in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The visiting team, including academics, administrators and religious leaders, was led by the director of CenSO, Professor Kunbi Labeodan.
In her remarks, the Director explained that the Centre went to the school with a view to teaching the students the evils inherent in cultism and other anti-social behaviours, and making them to know that cultism is evil, illegal, and deadly.
The children were also advised to shun all acts of violence, rape and promiscuity, hooliganism, vandalism, examination malpractices, laziness, indecent dressing, and corruption in all its ramifications.
Professor Labeodan assured that the CenSO would reach out to as many components of the university and members of the nearby communities.
The Centre for Social Orientation is an arm of the Vice-Chancellor’s Office with a Directorate status. It is UI’s equivalent of the combination of the National Orientation Agency and Public Complaints Commission, with the additional mandate to eradicate cult activities and other anti-social behaviours on campus.
