College expels 22 students for examination malpractices

The Academic Board of the College of Education, Akwanga in Nasarawa State has approved the expulsion of 22 students of the institution for examination practices.
The Registrar of the college, Audu Mangut, confirmed the expulsion in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Akwanga.
He said that the expelled students were caught cheating by invigilators during examinations.
Mangut said: “All the affected students appeared before the examination malpractice committee set up by the college to defend themselves.
“All those expelled were found guilty by the committee, hence the punishments that were meted to them.”
Mangut said that one of the expelled students had however, taken the management of the college to court, to challenge the decision of the academic board.
The registrar warned students to desist from vices that could mar their academic pursuits, noting that any student caught cheating in examinations would be sanctioned.
