The Senate of the Federal University, Dutse, in Jigawa State, has approved the expulsion of 20 students and the rustication of 15 others over their involvement in examination malpractice.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Director, Academic Affairs, Nora Dannatta, and issued in Dutse by the university’s Director of Public Affairs, Abdullahi Yahaya-Bello, on Wednesday.
The statement indicated that the action was based on the recommendations of the Senate Committee on Examination Misconduct for the Second Semester of the 2024/2025 academic session.
It disclosed that the Senate also approved the exoneration of two students and issued written warnings to three others.
“The decision was in accordance with the categories of offences and punishments governing both undergraduate and postgraduate studies, and those affected were drawn from various faculties and departments of the university,” it read in part.
the University of Abuja expelled 28 students for offences including cult-related activities, examination malpractice, drug possession, and threats to life.
According to the school, “the affected students were found culpable of serious misconduct, including assault, conspiracy, burglary, theft, falsification of ‘O’ Level results uploaded on the university portal for admission, as well as possession and use of hard drugs.”
