Here’s a breakdown of the key restrictions currently in place.
Phones prohibited at Covenant University in 2025
Covenant University has continued its longstanding ban on mobile phones for students. According to the university’s guidelines, students are not permitted to own or bring SIM-enabled devices to campus. This includes smartphones and any other gadgets capable of cellular communication.
The university stated that the policy was designed to “cut down distractions as much as possible” and to help students “focus on the best of experience and education.”
While phones are off-limits, students are allowed to bring alternative devices such as laptops, iPads, iPods, tablets, and cameras — provided they do not support SIM cards or mobile network connectivity.
This restriction has sparked ongoing debate among students, with some expressing concerns about staying connected with family and accessing digital resources. However, Covenant University has remained firm in its stance, citing academic focus and discipline as top priorities.
Cooking not allowed at Covenant University in 2025
In addition to its phone policy, Covenant University has also prohibited students from cooking on campus.
The administration clarified that students are not allowed to prepare their own meals, regardless of dietary preferences or personal routines.
Instead, the university offers a wide selection of meals through its campus cafeterias. Students are encouraged to purchase their meals from a “large range of cuisine” available daily.
This system is intended to streamline food safety, reduce fire hazards, and maintain a clean living environment across student accommodations.
While some students have voiced a desire for more autonomy in meal preparation, the university has emphasised convenience and variety in its catering services as a suitable alternative.
