This announcement was made by the Acting Rector, Dr. Hauwa Muhammad, during the institution’s 41st matriculation ceremony, which was attended by approximately 15,000 newly admitted students.

Dr. Muhammad seized the opportunity to caution the new students against engaging in examination malpractices, emphasizing the consequences faced by their predecessors.
She stated, “Let the experience of the expelled students serve as a lesson to all. This institution has zero tolerance for any form of academic dishonesty”.
