FUGUS sanctions 17 students for exam misconduct

The Vice-Chancellor Federal University Gusau, Prof. Magaji Garbage, while inspecting a Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in Gusau on Tuesday disclosed that the institution has rusticated 15 students and expelled two others over examination misconduct.
He said that University Governing Board took the measure to serve as a restraint to other students who might indulge in examination malpractice.

“Out of the 17 students that were caught in examination misconduct, only two students did not appear at the Senate meeting for interrogation; and so, they were expelled.

“The remaining 15 students were rusticated, which means they will miss one academic session and will resume after serving their punishment.

“This will serve as a lesson to other students to behave themselves, study well and be of good behaviour,’’ he said.

The vice chancellor, who serves as JAMB Chief External Examiner for the 2017 UTME in the state, said the examination was going on peacefully and smoothly in all the centers.
