Bad news! I bet some of those guys would be attending lectures and collecting school fees from their parents till they graduate themselves and end up forging a certificate.

But Pilot failed to report the nature of the misconduct.

It is really dissatisfying that student have to be rusticated for misconduct and petty offenses, I think another punishment should be dished out to such students rather than expulsion. The only peoples that deserved to be rusticated are cultist.

no big deal...not the first... won't be the last.

See the kind course whey them dey read sef

seriously speaking admittance of nothing more than 30 serious students into these depts is ok. it's high time our universities stop exploiting people by packing 200 students into each of these courses linguistics forestry wild-life botany education(the worst) zoology (and please don't tell me about GEJ His was just an exception not the norm)

In sane climes these courses are good but in nigeria 80% of those who study them do so out frustration or just to pose as 'campus guys' and of course they constitute a larger % of the nuisances found in our campuses
