Uniabuja expels 100 students for exam malpractices

A serious issue!

According to reports, the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) has expelled 100 students for engaging in examination malpractices. This decision was made by the university's Senate, which is the highest decision-making body of the institution.

The expulsion is said to be a result of a thorough investigation into allegations of cheating and other forms of malpractice during the 2019/2020 academic session. The investigation reportedly uncovered a significant number of students who were involved in various forms of malpractice, including:

  1. Copying from others during exams
  2. Using unauthorized materials during exams
  3. Collaborating with others to cheat during exams
  4. Bribery and other forms of corruption

The university's authorities have taken a strong stance against these behaviors, emphasizing the importance of academic integrity and the need to maintain high standards of excellence in academic pursuits.

The expelled students will not be allowed to register for any further courses at the university, and their results will be cancelled. This decision is intended to serve as a deterrent to others who may be considering similar actions.

It's worth noting that UNIABUJA has a zero-tolerance policy towards examination malpractice, and the university has been working to strengthen its internal mechanisms to prevent and detect such behaviors.

What do you think about this development? Should universities take a stronger stance against examination malpractice?
