The management of Adamawa State University (ADSU), Mubi, has expelled fourteen students for involvement in examination malpractice during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic session. One other student received a stern warning.
According to a bulletin issued by the Office of the Registrar and signed by the Academic Secretary, the decision followed the recommendations of the University Students’ Disciplinary Committee and was ratified at the institution’s 131st Senate meeting held on August 28, 2025.
The affected students, drawn from various departments including Computer Science, Zoology, Chemistry, Political Science, Economics, Marketing, Accounting, Taxation, Educational Foundations, and Science Education, were found guilty of serious examination misconduct.
Those expelled include Hezekiah Micah (Computer Science), Paul Simon (Zoology), Kabiru Musa (Chemistry), and Ahmed Abdulhamid (Computer Science), alongside others from Political Science, Economics, Marketing, and Education-related programmes.
The Senate, however, issued a warning to Dahiru Bala Bobbo, a 300-level student of Science Education, cautioning that any future misconduct would attract stiffer sanctions.
In a statement, the university reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on examination malpractice and misconduct, stressing its commitment to safeguarding academic integrity and credibility.
“The institution will not hesitate to apply strict disciplinary measures against any student found culpable of academic or behavioural infractions,” the management said.
The latest disciplinary action reinforces ADSU’s resolve to uphold standards as it continues efforts to strengthen its academic processes.
