The management of Bingham University in Nasarawa State has banned students from using smartphones on campus.
This was contained in a memo signed by the registrar of the school, Dr Esther Dyaji on Wednesday, 18 January.
Dr Dyaji said the prohibition was a result of the abuse of smartphones by students.
According to the memo, the ban takes effect immediately, and defaulters will be sanctioned and have their mobile phones confiscated.
“Following repeated abuse in the use of smartphones in contravention of section 5.14 subsection i, ii and iii of the students’ handbook, the use of smartphone is hereby prohibited with immediate effect,” the memo seen by our correspondent reads.
“Violators of this would have their phones confiscated and face appropriate sanction.”
The university, located in Karu LGA of Nassarawa State, was established in 2005 by the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) as a conventional institution.
