The senate of Bayero University Kano has approved the expulsion of 171 students over falsification of admission entry qualifications.
The decision, approved at the Senate’s 433rd meeting on March 4, 2026, followed an investigation by the senate committee on entry qualification irregularities.
According to a statement published in the university’s weekly bulletin on Friday, the affected students were found to have presented falsified credentials during their admission process.
“The Senate of Bayero University, Kano (BUK), at its 433rd meeting held on March 4, 2026, has approved the expulsion of 171 students for falsifying their admission entry qualifications,” the statement read.
BUK noted that the offence violates Section 20.7, Category A (vii) of its General Examinations and Academic Regulations, which prescribes expulsion for such misconduct.
The affected students cut across various departments and levels, with the university describing the move as part of ongoing efforts to sanitise its academic records.
In a related case, the Senate also approved the expulsion of Yusuf Sani, a student in the department of civil engineering, for physically assaulting invigilators during an examination.
The university said the incident disrupted the conduct of the examination and violated student discipline regulations.
The management reaffirmed its commitment to upholding academic integrity.
“The University stresses that any breach of its regulations will continue to attract appropriate sanctions in accordance with established rules.
“This mass expulsion serves as a stern warning to current and prospective students of the institution that BUK maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward both academic fraud and indiscipline,” it added.
