•Sign-out ceremony
The Management of Federal Polytechnic Idah has banned sign-out ceremonies, which are normally celebrated by students.
An internal memo issued by the Dean, Student Affairs, Engr. Omagu F.

The memo read as follows:
“I wish to bring to the notice of the students especially the graduating students and the Polytechnic Community that the ban on the so called sign-out ceremony by the students such as signing on the shirts, pouring of water, spraying of money, unruly ride of motorcycle/vehicle, abnormal noise/jubilation and any other activities considered inappropriate within the campus and the area of Polytechnic jurisdiction by the Management still stand.
“Any attempt by any student or group of students and their so-called guest under any platform to test the will of the Management by engaging in such activities and violating the ban shall be met with appropriate sanction.
“You are hereby advised to desist from such activities, and go about the remaining part of your programme for the session calmly and peacefully.
“I congratulate you in advance on the successful completion of your second semester examination and wish you the best outcome.“
