Abstract
This study investigated social problems associated with campus cult activities in tertiary intuitions in Ogun State, Nigeria. The population of the study comprised all the 811 lecturers and 13,533 students in all the tertiary institutions in Ogun State. 372 respondents made up of 170 lecturers and 202 students were used as sample. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire titled ‘Campus Cult Social Problem Questionnaire (CCSPQ)”. Four research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while ‘t’ test statistics tested the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The major findings show that factors leading to student cultism include adolescent’s developmental problems, ban on student’s unionism, societal corruption and inadequate use of counselling services. The social problems include spending extra years before graduation, stealing, disruption of social/recreational activities, untimely death and termination of Educational career. Measures for controlling cult activities include encouraging students to join religious groups, prohibiting the sale and consumption of intoxicating drugs, using guidance/counsellors, humiliating publicly cult members and legal action against them. Based on the findings, recommendations for implementation include government taking tougher measures on student cultists and university authorities beefing up the security department and equipping them adequately.
