Bayero University, Kano, has expelled no fewer than 60 students from different faculties over their involvement in examination misconduct, reaffirming its stance on academic discipline and integrity.
The decision was reached during the university’s 43rd statutory Senate meeting held on January 7, 2026, after the consideration of detailed reports and recommendations from relevant academic and disciplinary committees.
The expulsions were formally announced in the institution’s Weekly Bulletin released on Friday, which stated that the affected students were found culpable of breaching the university’s examination rules and regulations.
According to the bulletin, the Senate subjected each case to thorough scrutiny before approving the sanctions in line with existing examination guidelines.
The university reiterated its zero-tolerance policy on examination malpractice, warning that strict penalties would continue to be applied to discourage future infractions.
Management stressed that no student would be shielded from punishment, irrespective of department or status.
Bayero University further pledged its commitment to maintaining high academic standards and sustaining a culture of discipline across the institution.
It will be recalled that in April 2025, the university expelled 62 students and rusticated 17 others for similar offences, a decision ratified at the 42nd Senate meeting held on February 26, 2025.
