The University of Calabar, located in Cross River State, has taken the step of suspending nine students over accusations of examination malpractice and forgery of academic results.
According to a statement issued by the registrar of the university, Chukwuka Icha, the suspension was confirmed following deliberations at the 252nd Senate meeting, where reports presented by the Ad-Hoc Senate committee on examination malpractice and the senate students’ disciplinary committee were reviewed.
As per Mr. Icha, five of the students faced suspension due to involvement in examination malpractice, while the remaining four were penalized for submitting fraudulent results to the university.
"After thoroughly considering the reports and the committees' recommendations, the management decided that the students would be suspended for two academic sessions, with the suspension starting in the 2024/2025 academic year,” he stated.
The suspended students include Akwuba Enestina (300 Level Pharmacy), Udom Iboro (300 Level Pharmacy), Nwankwo Daniel (200 Level Pharmacy), Ore Israel (500 Level Pharmacy), and Chisom Ejafa (500 Level Pharmacy).
Additional students affected by the suspension are Lazarus Ebogo from the Home Economics department, Ele Godwin from the Zoology department, Ofem Patrick from the Department of Science Laboratory Technology, and Makailu Pamilo from the Department of Linguistics and Communication Studies.
It has been mandated that heads of departments, deans of the respective faculties involved, and the institution's acting chief security officer ensure that the suspension order is fully enforced.
