KWASUED Imposes Mandatory NDLEA Drug Tests on New Students, Sparks Protests

The Kwara State University of Education (KWASUED) in Ilorin has stirred controversy by requiring newly admitted students to undergo mandatory drug tests by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) or face admission clearance issues. The policy has faced backlash from students who deem it unfair and unnecessary, citing financial burdens and logistical challenges.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Egbewole, responded by promising to address transportation issues. Students have expressed frustration over the sudden announcement and the impact on their academic pursuits.
