The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) in Kwara State has taken a firm stance against academic dishonesty by expelling nine students for their involvement in examination malpractice. This decisive action, detailed in the Unilorin Bulletin released on February 19, 2024, underscores the institution’s unwavering commitment to upholding academic integrity and standards.

Among the expelled students are four final year students, highlighting the severity of the consequences for such violations, regardless of the student’s academic standing. The individuals affected hail from various faculties, indicating that the issue of exam malpractice is not confined to a specific area of study.

The list of expelled students includes Lateef Lukman Olayemi, a 500-level student from the Agriculture/Aquaculture and Fisheries department; Kuranga Abdulmuiz Olalekan, also a 500-level student but from Agriculture/Agricultural Extension and Rural Development; Adebisi Janet Bosede, a 100-level student in Arts/Linguistics and Nigerian Languages; Ogundijo Abdulmalik Akinkunmi, a 500-level student in CIS/Library and Information Science; and Ashekun Oladiji Quadri, a 400-level student in CIS/Telecommunication Science. Other expelled students are Eqwudah Lucky Ojonumba from the 300 level Education/Adult and Primary Education Studies; Musa Mohammed Asuku, a 500-level student in Engineering and Technology/Electrical and Electronic Engineering; Ahmed Saddam Opeyemi, another 500-level student in Engineering and Technology/Materials and Metallurgical Engineering; and Ayinla Jamiu Olaitan, a 400-level student in Life Science/Zoology.

The expulsions were based on the recommendations of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee during its 219th session, receiving endorsement from the Vice Chancellor, Prof Wahab Egbewole. This action by the university administration sends a clear message about the seriousness with which it treats academic misconduct and its commitment to preserving the sanctity of its examination processes.
