Kaduna State Polytechnic has expelled 63 students and suspended 36 others over various academic offences, including fraudulent admissions and examination malpractice.
The disciplinary actions were ratified at the institution’s 114th Academic Board Meeting held on April 30, 2025.
A circular dated May 5, 2025, and signed by the Deputy Registrar (Academic Affairs), Abdullahi Muhammad, conveyed the board’s decision, as communicated by the Polytechnic Registrar, Dr. Muhammed Tanimu.
The circular, which was sighted on Thursday, directed all staff and students to take note of the sanctions.
“The Academic Board at its 114th Regular Meeting held on April 30, 2025, considered reports from the Fraudulent Admission and Related Matters Investigation Committee and the Examination Misconduct Cases and Malpractice Committee, and approved the following disciplinary measures against the students listed below,” the circular stated.
According to the FARMIC report, five students gained admission into the institution fraudulently.
Their admissions were consequently withdrawn, and they were expelled.
Meanwhile, the EMCMC found over 70 students culpable of examination misconduct.
The affected students are drawn from departments such as Mass Communication, Building Technology, Civil Engineering, Public Administration, and Architecture.
The polytechnic reiterated its commitment to upholding academic integrity and warned that it would continue to impose strict sanctions on students found guilty of misconduct.
