Northwest University Kano Expels Students

The management of Northwest University, Kano approved the expulsion of 34 students after they were found guilty of examination misconduct.

The decision was approved by the Senate of the university during its 66th regular meeting held on 17 and 18 June 2026.

According to the university, the cases were linked to the Second Semester 2024/2025 examination.

Other Students Also Sanctioned

Apart from the 34 students who were expelled, the university also rusticated 18 students.

Another 22 students were issued warning letters for different examination-related offences.

One student was exonerated after the case was reviewed.

This means the university examined the cases and gave different punishments based on the level of offence.

Why the Decision Matters

Examination malpractice is a serious offence in higher institutions.

Students who are caught cheating during exams may lose their Admission, repeat a session, face suspension or even be expelled completely.

This is why students must avoid carrying foreign materials into exam halls, copying from others, using phones during exams or paying anyone to assist them illegally.

Important Advice for Students

Students should take their studies seriously and prepare early before examinations.

Waiting until exam week before reading can lead to panic, poor preparation and temptation to cheat.
