The Management of Akwa Ibom State University says the institution
has expelled 21 students for various offences committed in 2016.
The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Eno Ibanga stated this
while speaking with newsmen in Ikot Akpaden, Mkpat Enim Local
Government Area of the state on Saturday.
He said the students were expelled for various offences ranging
phone theft, and grievous harm among others. Ibanga noted that due
process was followed before the students were expelled.
He explained that the Students’ Disciplinary Committee was set up
by the university to ensure that students who had committed various
offences were dealt with.
“If you have an issue and your case is sent to student
disciplinary committee and we have students’ information handbook that
tells you the dos and don’ts in the university.
“We don’t want to encourage truancy, and misbehaviour, when you
commit an offence, we send you there and then if you are found
culpable, you will be expelled from the institution.
“This is a democracy, we don’t just wake up and expel somebody, you must follow due process before anybody is expelled,’’ Ibanga said.
The vice chancellor said that the institution had zero tolerance
for cultism. According to him, the campus is not comfortable for
cultists to operate.
