The management of Sa’adatu Rimi University of Education Kumbotso in Kano State has warned its students against engaging in cultism’.

He warned the university has zero tolerance for any unregistered associations.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Yahaya Bunkure, issued the warning during a press briefing on Tuesday.

He stated that the university would not permit students to be members of or belong to unregistered associations.

Any students found violating this directive would be subject to the rules and regulations governing the institution.

“We have our code of conduct, which every student, whether male or female, must adhere to, as we do not tolerate examination misconduct or any form of indiscipline.

“For any student to join any club or association, such organisations must be duly registered and in compliance with the codes and conduct of the institution,” he said.

He revealed that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has allocated 2,000 admission slots to the university for the 2024/2025 academic session.

He noted that this figure is higher than last year’s intake, which saw 1,740 students admitted to the university.

He explained that the minimum cut-off mark for admission into the university is 145, but clarified that this does not guarantee automatic admission, as the university will prioritise students who achieve higher scores.

“JAMB has set 140 as the minimum score for admission into any university in the country. We are the only university in the whole country that has set 145 as the minimum score for admission,” he said.

According to him, the university will focus on admitting students with higher marks, particularly in subject areas with greater competition.

Regarding ongoing projects, the Vice-Chancellor stated that the institution has awarded a contract worth N370 million for the construction of lecture halls, staff rooms, and other facilities.

He reiterated the university’s stance against cultism and warned students against joining unregistered associations, as the university maintains zero tolerance for indiscipline and other immoral activities.
