Barely one week after ten students were expelled for examination misconduct, the academic board of Kogi State Polytechnic has shown another set of 15 students the exit door from the citadel of learning for similar offence.
Their expulsion followed the consideration of the report of the Central Examination Misconduct Committee by the academic board in Lokoja on Thursday.
According a statement signed by the polytechnic’s head of Public Relations and Protocol Unit, Mrs Uredo Omale, the fifteen 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 offences ranged from impersonation, bringing of illicit materials that were relevant to the examination into the examination hall, and others,” the statement said.
The 15 expelled students are:
- Ameh Enyojo Joy – 2019/ND/OTM/661
- Sabo Peace – 2020/ND/PAD/519
- Giwa Ayomide Olabode – 2019/ND/PAD/193

The Rector and Chairman of the Academic Board, Dr. Salisu Ogbo Usman seized the opportunity to admonish students to be law-abiding, as no stone would be left unturned to ensure absolute law and order in and around the campuses of Kogi State Polytechnic.
While commending the members of the board, the Rector reiterated management’s commitment to upholding the dignity of the Polytechnic through strict adherence to rules and regulations.
The Rector specifically appreciated the chairman and members of the Central Examination Misconduct Committee for their commitment to the avowed zero tolerance to examination misconduct and other social vices in the institution.
