While congratulating the freshers for being among the few lucky students who have been offered admission, he stated that the privilege given to them came with responsibilities which required them to take their studies serious.

“Dear Matriculating Student, I congratulate you for making the right decision by choosing Benson Idahosa University. I know you had other choices, there are a lot of Universities in Nigeria but for so many reasons you decided to come to Benson Idahosa University. But, I want to remind you that this admission comes with responsibilities,” he said.

He warned the students shun cultism and drugs as the University has a zero tolerance to illicit drug consumption, sexual immorality and cultism adding that the Founder of the University, Archbishop Benson Idahosa placed a standing curse on whomsoever that would indulge in these practices. He advised them to be law-abiding and to refrain from joining unlawful groups, saying the Management would not hesitate to deal with offenders.

Prof Izevbigie said: “I want to make it clear that Benson Idahosa University has a zero tolerance policy for cultism, in other word there is no room for cultism. Contravention of this policy would attract severe sanction as stipulated in the Student Handbook. As matter of fact the founder of this great University placed a curse on any Staff or Student that would bring cultism into Benson Idahosa University.”
