Authorities of the Imo State University, IMSU, have expelled more than 700 students in the last 12 months for examination malpractice.
The Vice Chancellor of the institution, Professor Aloysius Ukachukwu Awuzie, stated this at a briefing on his administration. He said that a panel on disciplinary matters involving staff had also been set up.
The VC added that the university had embarked on the procurement of pews to ensure that no student is forced to receive lectures standing and that examination halls were not over crowded.
Awuzie further disclosed that the institution about 150 medical doctors had graduated from its college of medicine in the last two years, while another 70 are expected to graduate before the end of March.
On his master plan for the institution, the VC said that he had made arrangement for the development of the plan, stressing that a comprehensive master plan remained the panacea to the prevalent unfriendly environment that he met upon his appointment as acting VC.
“The advent of the seventh governing council has brought in its wake the commencement of the process for the ethical and moral rebirth within the university community and the process for a comprehensive intellectual values re-engineering among staff and student.”
