Katsina, Nigeria— The Senate of Umaru Musa Yar’adua University (UMYU), Katsina, has approved the expulsion of 57 students for engaging in various forms of examination malpractice, reflecting the institution’s strict stance on academic integrity.
According to a statement issued on Saturday by Hajiya Fatima Sanda, Head of Information and Protocol, the decision followed thorough investigations by the University Central Examination Misconduct Committee (UCEMC) and was finalized during the Senate’s 125th Regular Meeting.
In addition to the expulsions, five students were rusticated for two semesters during the 2024/2025 academic session, with their relevant examination papers cancelled. Two other students received official written warnings, permanently recorded on their academic files.
UMYU emphasized that these disciplinary actions underscore its zero-tolerance policy towards examination fraud and serve as a deterrent against future violations.
“UMYU remains committed to upholding the sanctity of its academic standards and will take firm action against any conduct undermining examination integrity. Students are urged to strictly adhere to academic regulations, as any further infractions will attract severe consequences,” the statement affirmed.
The university continues to advocate for responsible academic conduct to protect the credibility and quality of its educational programs.
