Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa Expels 51 Students Over Exam Malpractice

The Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa in Nasarawa state, has expelled 51 students for examination malpractice during the 2019/2020 academic session.

This is contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by Malam Uba Mana, the polytechnic’s Director of Information, Publicity and Protocol.

Mana said that the affected students were expelled following approval by the academic board of the institution.

“The affected students were expelled on the ground of various offences of examination misconduct that involved both full time and part-time students.

“The students expelled are from the Higher National Diploma and National Diploma in Engineering courses, Accounting, Science Lab Tech, Library and Information Science, Mass Communication among others,” he said.

Mana also said that the Rector of the institution, Dr Abdullahi Ahmed has directed the expelled students to handover all documents belonging to the polytechnic to their departmental heads.

The rector enjoined all students of the polytechnic to shun examination malpractice and other social vices, to strengthen the growth and development of the institution.

GWG recalls there was a similar development at the Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, when the school management expelled 27 students over examination malpractices.

A statement by Mrs Uredo Omale, Head, Public Relations and Protocol Unit of the Kogi Polytechnic had said the expulsion was approved by the Academic Board of the institution.

According to her, among the students expelled were Mohammed Iliasu Maikudi from Public Administration Department with Matric Number 2018/HND/PAD/769 and Kadiri Samson (2017/ND/OTM/034), from the Department of Office Technology and Management.

She said they were expelled for hiring mercenaries to write examinations for them and that the Board was in the process of withdrawing the certificates of their accomplices for unworthy actions that portrayed the Polytechnic in a bad light.

The accomplices, Oladimeji Emmanuel and Ekeono Oluwaseyi, the statement said, were former students of the institution.
