Kogi State Polytechnic has expelled thirty four students over alleged examination malpractices, certificate forgery and cultism.
Our Kogi State Correspondent reports that the expulsion was sequel to the reports of various committees of the Academic Board of Kogi State Polytechnic at its regular meeting held Thursday December 17.
The Head, Public Relations and Protocol Unit of Kogi State Polytechnic, Mrs. Uredo Omale, who confirmed the expulsion in a statement made available to journalists today, Friday December 18, stated that the students' conduct contravened the relevant sections as contained in the Students’ Information Handbook of the Polytechnic, which stipulates penalties for involvement in examination malpractice, certificate forgery and cultism.
She noted that the expelled students were from different Schools and Departments of the Institution.
"The Board also approved the graduation of 959 students from various Schools and Departments as recommended by the Result Verification Committee.
"Some of the expelled students were part of the ‘Examination Magic Centre’ syndicate, recently uncovered by the Institution at the Sarkin Noma area in Lokoja metropolis.
"The ‘magic centre’ was organized by one Ibrahim Ayatu, an HND II student of the Department of Accountancy and one Ayeni Clement, an ex-student of the Polytechnic".
The Board approved that Ibrahim Ayatu be expelled from the institution, while Clement Ayeni should be banned from entering the Polytechnic until further notice.
The Academic Board also set up Committee to review the unworthy character of Mr. Clement Ayeni for appropriate decision.
