Students are not allowed to drive or bring cars to Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso in Oyo State, southwest Nigeria.
The school also forbade staff and students from driving tinted cars, and new drivers were required to display learner permits on their cars.
In a statement sent out by the school’s registrar, Kayode Ogunleye, it is said that the choice was made on Wednesday during a management meeting.
The memo reads: “The University management at its regular meeting held, on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, deliberated on the occurrence of traffic on the campus and decided as follows.
“Vehicles owned by students are hereby banned from entering the university campus. Vehicles with no registration numbers are no longer allowed on campus. Roadside parking of vehicles should stop forthwith.”
The registrar also said unauthorised vehicles parked at various locations in the university should be taken out with immediate effect.
“Any unauthorized vehicles parked at various positions in the university should be taken out with immediate effect, failing which the university security will take appropriate action on such vehicles.
“Tinted vehicles being used by some staff and students are hereby prohibited. Learner permits must be placed on the vehicles of beginner drivers.”
“The acting vice chancellor, bursar, university Liberian, provosts and deans, directors, heads of departments/units and acting head of security unit were copied in the memo,” Ogunleye added.
