The management of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology has suspended three students of its Faculty of Law for two academic sessions over alleged examination malpractice.
The suspension, which commenced on June 25, 2026, will run until June 24, 2028, according to separate memos issued to the affected students by the university’s Registrar, Ambrose Ugwu.
The students, two males and a female, were identified as Isong Ugwu, Gad Nwosu and Roseline Nnamani.
Ugwu said the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Aloysius-Michaels Okolie, acting on behalf of the University Senate, approved the recommendations of the Senate Examinations Malpractice Committee.
The Registrar directed the affected students to surrender any university property in their possession to their respective heads of department and leave the institution’s campus immediately.
He added that the students’ sponsors and the National Universities Commission had been notified of the disciplinary action.
According to the Registrar, the affected students would have to apply for readmission after completing their two-year suspension in June 2028.
Meanwhile, the university cleared another Faculty of Law student, Goodluck Iwuamadi, of an examination malpractice allegation.
Ugwu said Iwuamadi was exonerated following the recommendation of the Senate Examinations Malpractice Committee.
