“Please note that this university has zero tolerance for examination misconduct, drug abuse, cultism, possession of dangerous weapons on campus, rape, fighting, stealing and impersonation.

“These activities attract visible and proportionate disciplinary actions, including suspension or expulsion.

“Moreover, perpetrators of activities which are considered criminal will be promptly dismissed from the university and handed over to law enforcement agencies for investigation and prosecution,” he said.

Nkang said that the institution, which was issued with full operational licence in 2020, could boast of being the most affordable private university in the country.

According to him, the university also has excellent student-teacher ratio, coupled with good hostel accommodation. (NAN)
