Covenant University Enforces Ban on Mobile Phones and Cooking to Uphold Discipline

Covenant University, located in Ota, Ogun State, has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a disciplined academic environment by enforcing strict policies that prohibit students from using mobile phones and cooking within the campus premises.

Mobile Phone Restrictions

In line with its longstanding regulations, the university has reiterated that students are not permitted to own or bring SIM-enabled devices to campus. This includes smartphones and any gadgets capable of cellular communication. The policy aims to minimize distractions and foster a focused learning atmosphere. Students are, however, allowed to use alternative devices such as laptops and tablets, provided they do not support SIM cards or mobile network connectivity. [1]

Cooking Prohibition
The institution has also maintained its ban on cooking within the campus. Students are prohibited from preparing their own meals, regardless of dietary preferences or personal routines. Instead, the university offers a wide selection of meals through its campus cafeterias, aiming to streamline food safety, reduce fire hazards, and maintain a clean living environment across student accommodations.

These policies reflect Covenant University’s dedication to creating a structured and distraction-free educational setting. While some students have expressed concerns regarding these restrictions, the university maintains that such measures are essential for promoting academic excellence and personal discipline.
