KANO, NIGERIA – Bayero University Kano (BUK) has reaffirmed its commitment to academic excellence by announcing the expulsion of 60 students. The disciplinary action follows confirmed cases of examination malpractice and various acts of misconduct during the recent academic session.
The decision to dismiss the students was finalized during the university’s 43rd statutory Senate meeting. This move came after a comprehensive review of reports submitted by several academic and disciplinary committees tasked with investigating irregularities during examinations.
According to the university’s official Weekly Bulletin released on Friday, the Senate meticulously examined each case to ensure fair hearing and adherence to due process. The bulletin confirmed that the affected individuals were found guilty of violating established rules designed to protect the integrity of the institution's certificates.
The management of Bayero University emphasized that this action serves as a deterrent to the entire student body. In an official statement sighted on Saturday, the institution reiterated its zero-tolerance policy regarding academic dishonesty.
"The Senate approved the expulsion of these students in accordance with the university’s examination regulations. Strict sanctions will continue to be enforced to deter future violations and maintain our global academic standing."
The university further warned that no student, regardless of their department or level of study, would be spared if found guilty of compromising the school's examination standards.
This is not the first time the prestigious institution has taken a firm stand against misconduct. In April 2025, BUK made headlines after expelling 62 students and rusticating 17 others for similar offenses following the 42nd Senate meeting.
