In a released notice on February 1st 2022, by the Registrar of Abia State University, Acho Elendu, it stated;
“Management of Abia state university, Uturu, has banned the use of personal vehicles by students and flagrant display of wealth on campus.
Henceforth, only staff and accredited visitors would be allowed to drive their vehicles into the campus.
Any student who violates this directive, which is in the interest of the University community, shall face disciplinary action.”
It is believed the ban was introduced to reduce the display of ill-gotten wealth by internet scammers, popularly called Yahoo boys and other fraudsters.
