The Sokoto State University has matriculated 2,074 newly admitted students for the 2018/2019 academic session.

The vice chancellor, Professor Sani Dangoggo, said 13,000 applied for admission into the university but only 2,074 were admitted.

He urged the students to imbibe good character in their academic pursuit.

He said the institution was known for its uncompromising attitude and sustained policy of zero tolerance to indiscipline, cultism and examination malpractice.

“The university will not condone actions which contravene its regulations or behaviours that will portray the image of the university in a bad light.

“I urge the matriculating students to take their studies seriously to enable them graduate in flying colours and impact meaningfully in the society.”

He advised the matriculating students to engage in sports.

The vice chancellor said the university has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Zinder University in Niger Republic, Islamic University of Uganda, University of Lahore, Pakistan and Kampala International University, Uganda in the areas of staff development and students exchange.
