Covenant University sparks outrage with shocking ban on student cooking and phone ownership, igniting nationwide debate on freedom and discipline.
Covenant University, one of Nigeria’s most prestigious private universities, has ignited nationwide outrage after enforcing a shocking ban on student cooking and personal phone ownership.
The institution, known for its strict moral codes, reportedly rolled out the controversial policy ahead of the new academic session, sparking heated debates among parents, students, and education stakeholders.
Under the new rules, students are prohibited from owning mobile phones on campus and are barred from preparing their own meals in hostels. Authorities insist the move is designed to reduce distractions, maintain discipline, and prevent fire hazards.
But the policy has triggered fierce backlash, with critics describing it as draconian and out of touch with reality. Social media platforms erupted with angry reactions, as many Nigerians questioned why a university would deny students access to basic freedoms like communication and independent living.
Supporters of the policy, however, argue that it reinforces Covenant University’s reputation for discipline and academic focus, claiming that unrestricted phone usage fuels distraction and poor performance.
This is not the first time Covenant University has been in the headlines for its unconventional rules, but the latest ban has taken the debate over student rights and institutional control to a boiling point.
For now, the question remains: is Covenant University enforcing discipline — or stripping students of their independence in the name of education?
