Management of Central University has suspended all remaining activities planned for this year’s Students’ Representative Council (SRC) Week following an ongoing investigation by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC).
The decision was announced after concerns emerged regarding alleged incidents that reportedly occurred during some of the celebrations. University authorities stated that the suspension was necessary to ensure the safety of students, preserve the integrity of investigations, and maintain order on campus.
In a statement, management emphasized its commitment to upholding discipline and creating a safe academic environment for all students and staff. The university noted that it would cooperate fully with NACOC and other relevant authorities as investigations continue.
The suspension affects all outstanding entertainment, social, and recreational activities associated with SRC Week, including events that had attracted significant student participation.
University officials urged students to remain calm and comply with directives while the matter is being investigated. They also encouraged members of the university community to avoid spreading misinformation that could compromise the investigative process.
Student leaders expressed disappointment over the suspension but acknowledged the importance of allowing authorities to carry out their work without interference.
The incident has reignited discussions about student conduct during campus events and the need for stricter oversight of activities organized by student bodies across tertiary institutions.
Education stakeholders say the outcome of the investigation could influence future policies governing student celebrations and campus events in universities nationwide.
Management has assured students that updates will be communicated as soon as official findings become available.
