Ondo varsity expels student, suspends 20 others over exam malpractice

The Ondo State University of Science and Technology (OSUSTECH), Okitipupa, Friday announced that one of its students had been expelled over examination malpractice while 20 others had been suspended.

This was disclosed by the University’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Sunday Ogunduyile while addressing newsmen in Okitipupa on Friday.

He said that the Senate of the institution had ratified the list. Ogunduyile said the Senate had summoned all the students involved and they had defended themselves.

He, however, noted that those who were unable to defend the allegations against them were given due punishment.

He said. “The Senate summoned the students and gave them opportunities to defend themselves before it ratified the final list.

“A school is meant to instil discipline and morals in students and prepare them for the future. The list will serve as a deterrent to others to be dedicated to their studies,’’ Ogunduyile said.
