The Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University, Osogbo, Prof. Clement Adebooye, has cautioned the institution's eligible students against participating in thuggery and selling their votes during the upcoming polls.
Adebooye gave the warning during the 16th matriculation ceremony where 6,750 new students were welcomed as undergraduates.
The VC also advised the new students against portraying the institution negatively on social media and to always use available communication channels when they have issues to report to the management.
On the upcoming election, Adebooye encouraged students to vote according to their conscience and to refrain from participating in vote-buying, which is a criminal offense.
“Our students should vote their conscience. They should not be involved in vote-buying because it is a crime.
“Let’s make this country work. The way we can make this country work is to shun all acts that can bring down the tempo of the nation.
“We have to make the nation work. Make Nigeria project work. Don’t engage in violence during the election. Don’t allow any politician to conscript you into thuggery group to terrorise other human beings during the election,” he warned.
