Kano, Nigeria — Bayero University Kano (BUK) has expelled no fewer than 174 students for various offences, including examination malpractice, falsification of records, and other violations of the institution’s code of conduct.
The decision was approved by the university’s management following recommendations from its disciplinary committees, which investigated cases across multiple faculties.
According to sources within the institution, the affected students were found guilty after thorough reviews and were handed expulsion as the highest disciplinary measure in line with the university’s regulations.
University authorities reiterated their commitment to maintaining academic integrity and upholding standards, stressing that misconduct of any kind would not be tolerated.
“The university remains resolute in enforcing discipline and ensuring that certificates awarded reflect both character and learning,” a senior official said.
The development serves as a stern warning to students, as the institution continues to intensify efforts to curb examination malpractice and unethical behavior on campus.
Education stakeholders have reacted to the move, with some commending the university for taking decisive action, while others called for stronger preventive measures and student orientation programs.
BUK, one of Nigeria’s leading federal universities, has in recent years strengthened its disciplinary processes to safeguard its academic reputation.
