This is a time parents who have children at Kwara State University, Malete, to confirm their status as the management has expelled 175 students for various offences.
Experience shows that many students affected in such a circumstance do not return home to establish their plight while parents would still think they are in school.
In some cases, they return home with fake certificates at the end of their ‘programmes’.
Meanwhile, the acting director of University Relations, Dr Saeedat Aliyu, noted in a statement on Monday that the expelled students were penalised for offences ranging from examination malpractice, theft, using fake results to gain admission, assault, fraud, belonging to unregistered associations and illegal possession of firearms.
The statement read: “This is to bring to the notice of the public that the following one hundred and seventy-five students have been expelled from Kwara State University, Malete, for various offences.
“The approval of the expulsion followed the recommendations of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee SDC, which held sittings between October 2021 and March 2024.
“The expelled students were penalized for offences ranging from examination malpractice, theft, using fake results to gain admission, assault, fraud, belonging to unregistered associations and possession of a firearm.
“The Management of Kwara State University wishes to reiterate its zero-tolerance for all acts of indiscipline as the institution stands firm on producing graduates who are excellent both in character and in learning.”
