University Of Lagos Expels 125 Students, Rusticates 198

Some students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) have brought their parents’ efforts to give them a bright future to naught.

According to reports from Vanguard, the university’s authorities have expelled 125 students and rusticated 198 others for various offences, including examination malpractices during last academic session. Lists of the affected students were published on the university’s website yesterday.

The institution’s Deputy Registrar (Information), Toyin Adebule, confirmed the reports, saying that the action was in line with the university’s zero tolerance for malpractices and other vices in campus.

“The university will soon publish and display the names and photographs of the students in the media. These students will be punished in various degrees, depending on the severity.

Last session, a number of students were caught in various forms of malpractices during their examinations. Some were found cheating during the examination with “micro sheets” while others were hired as surrogates to write papers for others.

Others were caught smoking weeds (Marijuana) right in their halls of residence by their colleagues and reported to the university authorities. For those who were caught impersonating, writing examinations for others, they will face outright expulsion,” he said.

Adebule further stated that the other categories of students, such as those caught with micro sheets and the smokers, would face suspension ranging from two to four semesters.

”In other to get the desired effect of their various punishments, we are planning to publish all their names as well as display their photographs all over the campus in the next one week.

We shall carry out this measure in all the departments and faculties in the institution. This is to help the university ensure that the affected students will have nowhere to hibernate on campus.

By doing this, the affected students would know that the university want to ensure total compliance to the sanction and would not want to be seen anywhere around the campus,” he said.
