The administration of Kogi State Polytechnic in Lokoja has recommended the expulsion of fifteen (15) students for test misconduct and other related offenses.
The 15 students were expelled after the academic board of the university made a decision based on the report of the Central Examination Misconduct Committee.
“The fifteen (15) students were found to have contravened relevant sections of the Students’ Information Handbook and were variously recommended by the Central Examination Committee for disciplinary action as a deterrent measure to others,” the Polytechnic’s Public Relations Officer, Mrs Uredo Omale said.
Impersonation, as well as carrying relevant unlawful materials into the test hall, were among the offenses, according to Omale, who revealed this in a statement on Saturday.
According to the statement, Dr. Salisu Ogbo Usman, the Rector and Chairman of the Academic Board, took use of the opportunity to remind students that no stone would be left unturned in ensuring total peace and order in and around the Kogi State Polytechnic campuses.
