Newly admitted students of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, have been admonished to abide by laid down rules and regulations as the institution has zero tolerance for anti-social behaviour.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adebiyi Daramola, gave the advice during the 32nd matriculation for the 2014/2015 academic session.

The Vice-Chancellor urged the students to complement management’s effort by being peace loving, law abiding and distancing themselves from cultism and other behaviour that could terminate their academic pursuits prematurely.

Daramola, who commended the efforts and contributions of FUTA’s Admissions Committee, under the Chairmanship of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic, Professor Emmanuel Fasakin, said the university had continued to be the envy of other schools.

He said over 10,000 students applied to the university, but 4,039 got admissions into its six schools, “because FUTA keeps going the extra mile to ensure that students compete favoura-bly with their counterparts in other universities across the globe.”
