By Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Academic Board of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, on Thursday approved the expulsion of 42 students for offenses bordering on theft, examination malpractices and forging of results.

This was contained in a statement made available to the press in Lokoja on Friday by Mrs. Omale Uredo, the Head Public Relations and Protocol Unit of the institution.

Among the expelled students according to the statement was Mr. Victor Attah of ND II, Business Administration Department who was involved in the running of an illegal examination syndicate, popularly known as Magic Centre in connivance with one Ibrahim Hayatu who was the ring leader.

“Similarly, Mr. Akerele Oluwaseun, an ND I student of the Department of Computer Science, with Matric No 2019/ND/CPS/676 was expelled for stealing a bag belonging to one Abdulganiyu Mohammed from the same Department.”

The statement further disclosed that other 40 expelled students from the institution were those that forged National Diploma (ND) Results to secure Higher National Diploma (HND) admissions.

The Academic Board presided over by the Rector, Dr. Salisu O. Usman, resolved that the provisional admission of the detected students should be withdrawn for Gross Misconduct.

The Rector used the occasion to restate the commitment of the Governing Council, Management and Academic Board to upholding the dignity of the Polytechnic through strict adherence to rules, just as he solicited support from all and sundry so as to achieve more for the institution.

In another development, the Board also constituted investigative committee to take a comprehensive look at the results from the Department of Business Administration in the last three academic sessions.

This according to the Board was sequel to complaints of wrong computation of results from the Department and to make recommendations that could assist in addressing the problem in setting records straight.

On the issue of Industrial Training, the Board further reiterated that on no condition should letters for Industrial Training be issued before approval of results by the Academic Board.
