The management of Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, says it has expelled 175 students for various offences.

This was announced in a statement issued by KWASU’s spokeswoman, Saeedat Aliyu, on Tuesday.

The university management said that the expulsion approval followed the recommendations of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee, which held sittings between October 2021 and March 2024.

The management said the expelled students were penalised for offences ranging from examination malpractice, theft, using fake results to gain admission, assault, fraud, belonging to unregistered associations, and possessing a firearm.

”The management of KWASU wishes to reiterate its zero-tolerance for all acts of indiscipline as the institution stands firm on producing graduates who are excellent both in character and in learning,” Ms Aliyu said.
