Read Time:1 Minute, 14 Second
Kaduna Polytechnic’s administration has suspended 36 students and expelled 63 others for a variety of academic infractions, including fraudulent entrance and exam dishonesty.
The 114th Academic Board meeting of the school, which took place on April 30, 2025, approved the decision, which was based on the suggestions of two investigation committees.
The Deputy Registrar (Academic Affairs), Abdullahi Muhammad, signed a circular stating that the Examination Misconduct Cases and Malpractice Committee (EMCMC) and the Fraudulent Admission and Related Matters Investigation Committee (FARMIC) have indicted the impacted students.
According to the circular, FARMIC discovered that five students, including Essien Margret Lawrence and Maryam Nasir, gained admission through fraudulent means. The board, therefore, ordered the withdrawal of their admissions and their expulsion from the institution.
The EMCMC report also indicted over 70 students from departments such as Mass Communication, Building Technology, Civil Engineering, Public Administration, and Architecture for various forms of examination malpractice.
Among those expelled are Lawrence Samuel Anto (Building Technology), Fauziya Abdulrahman Buba (Mass Communication), and Ibrahim Muhammed Nazeer (Civil Engineering). Others, including Joseline Beauty Jonah and Muazu Umar, received suspensions of varying durations.
However, the board cleared Abubakar Ibrahim Ashir of the Computer Science Department and two others after finding no evidence against them.
The institution however reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on academic misconduct, warning that any act capable of undermining its academic integrity would be met with stiff sanctions.
“The Polytechnic remains committed to enforcing rules and instilling discipline among students,” the statement said.
