The Federal Polytechnic Bauchi has dismissed 30 of its students for examination malpractice and forgery of their certificates.
The Rector of the institution, Sanusi Gumau, flanked by the Chairman of the Governing Council, Barr. Isaac Abbot Ogbobula disclosed this at a press conference held on Sunday.
He said that the students who were found guilty by the Academic Board of the institution reported the matter to the Governing Council.
He explained that 14 of the students were dismissed for engaging in exam malpractice while the remaining 16 students were dismissed for either forging their Senior Secondary School Certificate or their National Diploma Certificate.
Asked on what the management was doing to provide adequate security of staff and students of the institution and their properties amidst the recent attacks of schools across the country, he said a lot is being done.
He, however, said that for security reasons, he will not disclose what is being done in order not to jeopardize the measures put in place.
