The Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa in Nasarawa State has expelled 51 students for examination malpractice.

The polytechnic’s Director of Information, Publicity and Protocol, Uba Mana, who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Lafia, said the students committed the offence during the 2019/2020 academic session.

Mana said the affected students were expelled after the institution’s academic board approved the recommendation of a disciplinary panel that questioned them for examination malpractice.

The spokesman said: “The affected students were expelled for various forms of examination misconduct that involved both full-time and part-time students.
