The Kwara State University has expelled 175 students for various academic integrity violations, including fraud, the use of fake results, and other offences.

The decision comes as the university takes a firm stance against academic misconduct, aiming to uphold the highest standards of education and maintain the integrity of its programs.

The expelled students were found to have engaged in a range of unethical practices according to the statement on Tuesday by the acting Director of the University Public Relations, Dr Saeedat Aliyu, undermining the academic credibility of the institution.

The statement read, “This is to inform the public that the following 175 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, which held sittings between October 2021 and March 2024.

“The expelled students were penalised for offences ranging from examination malpractices, 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.”

However, the university’s administration has vowed to continue its crackdown on such activities, sending a clear message that such behaviour will not be tolerated.
