The Nigerian Association of Agricultural Students (NAAS), AAUA Chapter, under the leadership of Comr. Iyeawoji Kingsley, politically known as Gallant Mopol, distributed palliatives to financially disadvantaged students in the faculty.
The event took place on the 23rd of October and was held at ALT 300 within Adekunle Ajasin University.
During the gathering, students were reminded of the importance of maintaining academic integrity and avoiding any form of examination misconduct and malpractice.
Gallant Mopol stressed the need for students to abstain from examination misconduct like cheating, possessing or using unauthorized materials or devices during exams, unauthorized collaboration with other students, impersonation, and attempting to gain unauthorized access to examination materials or questions.
He said, "The consequences of such misconduct include automatic failure in exams or courses, expulsion or suspension from the institution or university, legal action against the individuals involved, damage to the students' reputation and credibility, and permanent negative marks on their academic records.
"These consequences could significantly affect future opportunities, including employment and further education."
Speaking with Echo Media reporter, one of the beneficiaries, Afilerin Oluwadamilola from the Department of Agricultural Economics, expressed her gratitude: "I feel so happy because it really helped, especially during the exam period."
"This is not something new to us; it started during Gallant Mopol's administration," she added.
She advised fellow students to steer clear of examination malpractice and any actions that could tarnish their academic records.
"In the same vein, my advice to the administration is to continue their excellent work and explore ways for the upcoming administration to make it even better," she concluded.
Udofia Peace Shalom, a 500-level student in the Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, appreciated the executive members for effectively representing the faculty and fulfilling their promises.
She noted that this was her first time participating in such a palliative event but the second time the administration had organized it.
She highlighted that the timing was impeccable, as students' food supplies were running low during the exam period, and everyone was eager to complete their exams and leave the school premises.
Yusuf Micheal, known as OMY and the General Secretary of Agricultural Extension, praised the program's inception and the president's innovative idea.
He noted that students consume more food during exams than on regular lecture days, considering the escalating prices of goods due to the economic crisis.
Micheal encouraged the next administration to continue this initiative and emphasized the importance of staying informed.
Regarding the ongoing exams, he advised students to study and prepare diligently, saying, "Failing honorably is more preferable to being caught engaging in examination malpractice."
Comr. Akindoyo Christopher, fondly known as Chris Honour, who serves as the speaker of the Faculty of Agriculture and the chairperson of the Helping Hand Initiative, expressed that having such a program in the school is a rare privilege.
Christopher added that the Faculty of Agriculture is a trailblazer in assisting students during exams by providing food items, despite facing funding challenges, with support from notable individuals within and outside the faculty.
He encouraged the next administration to maintain and expand the project, as it would be immensely beneficial to all faculty students.
