Kogi University Withdraws 56 Students for Exam Malpractice
Kogi University has taken disciplinary actions against 56 students, withdrawing them for various academic deficiencies, and expelled one student for gross examination misconduct. These decisions were made during the 168th Regular Meeting of the Senate on September 30, 2026, following the review of the 2025/2026 second-semester examination results.
The statement from the Director of Public Affairs, Uredo Omale, indicated that out of the 56 withdrawn students, 11 were specifically due to poor academic performance. In a positive note, the Senate also approved the graduation of 44 students with First-Class Honours, with notable achievements from the Department of Forestry (eight graduates), Physiology (six graduates), and Microbiology (one graduate).
The Senate's actions were based on the report from the Results Verification Committee regarding the academic standings of students across the university.
