Disturbed by the spate of Cultism, Examination Malpractices, Possession of Drugs, Threat to Life and other heinous offences, the Management of the University of Abuja have wielded the big stick by expelling 28 Students.

 

Announcing the expulsion of the Students is the Acting Director of Information and University Relations, Habib Yakoob, via a Statement.

 

Yakoob stated that the decision followed the institution’s 191st Regular Senate Meeting and recommendations by the Students’ Disciplinary Committee.

 

It added that 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.

 

The Senate also approved the withdrawal of Certificates previously issued to 15 former students who failed to honour repeated disciplinary invitations.

 

Prof. Hakeem Fawehinmi, Vice-Chancellor and Chairman of Senate, emphasised that the university would not compromise its standards.

 

“The academic integrity of the university is sacrosanct, and we are determined that anyone who violates it will be appropriately sanctioned. Our goal is not only to enforce discipline but also to guide our students towards responsible citizenship and academic excellence,” he said.

 

He added that the institution remains committed to maintaining a safe learning environment for students and staff.

 

“We will continue to uphold discipline and enforce our rules and regulations without compromise. At the same time, we are strengthening student engagement, counselling, and orientation programmes to promote responsible conduct and prevent future infractions,” Fawehinmi added.
