The Dean of Student Affairs, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Prof. Festus Adeosun, has reminded newly admitted students that their foremost mission at the University is to study diligently and excel academically.

Speaking at the Prof. Oluwafemi Balogun Ceremonial Building today, September 19, 2025, during Day 2 of the Orientation Programme for fresh students, Prof. Adeosun urged the intakes to remain focused on their studies while avoiding distractions and behaviours capable of jeopardising their future.

He advised the students to strictly adhere to the University’s rules and regulations, stressing that actions leading to the Student Disciplinary Committee (SDC) could result in rustication.

The day featured several impactful sessions designed to guide the students in settling down to academic life. Chairman, Time-table and Examination Committee (TIMTEC), Engr. (Prof.) Pius Dada, enlightened the freshers on “Time-table and Examination Rules and Regulations”, stressing early course registration, punctuality, and the dangers of examination malpractice.

The Ag. Director of Health Services, Dr. Oluseyi Anjorin (represented by Dr. Oyelekan Nasir), sensitised students on “Health Services, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, AIDS, and Related Issues.” University Counsellor, Dr. Modesta Ofodile, delivered a session on “Self-defeating Behaviour, Etiquette, Mannerisms, and Decorum,” while Mrs. Felicia Olaleye of the Counselling Unit addressed “Decent Dressing and the Image of the University.”

To further enrich the programme, Prof. Ishola Odeyemi led the fresh students in learning the University Anthem, while a student entertainer, David Oluwasegun, thrilled the audience with humour.

The event ended on an interactive note, with new students asking questions and receiving clarifications on issues concerning their academic and social life on campus.
