According to him: “Be informed that Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State, has absolute zero-tolerance for cultism, examination malpractices, bullying, ‘sorting’, campus prostitution/sex-for-grades and improper dressing, and we do not also hesitate to sanction offenders accordingly.

“We have constituted a committee on improper dressing on campus and any student found dressing improperly would pay a fine of N10, 000 for each offence. So, be warned. Dress the way you would like to be addressed. I wish to assure you of adequate security on campus.

“We, however, plead with you not to hesitate to report any suspicious activities, intimidation and harassment of any sort to the Dean of Students’ Affairs, security officers, SERVICOM or any staff of the University for immediate action.

Elom further noted that the freshers hail from all parts of the country, adding that, “These freshmen are also joining our university at a time we have adopted Blended Learning in our academic activities.”
