Abstract

Cultism has been identified as the most critical source of indiscipline and insecurity in many tertiary institutions of learning in contemporary time. The prevalence of this menace in the nations' campuses of higher institutions has assumed a disgraceful and disheartening dimension. The peace, serenity, and orderliness characteristic of academic environments the world over has been replaced by anarchy, fear, and terrorism imposed on our institutions by members of secret cults, who not only indulge in voodoo rituals at cemeteries, but also engaged one another in fierce combats, which makes campus life unsafe. This chapter suggests an alternative means of securing a peaceful future for the youths through religious and moral education as a means of averting the further spread of these vices. It seeks to build a culture of peace by allowing people to imbibe values and attitudes that reflect respect for life, human dignity, and right to life.
