ESUT Expels 544 Students For Illegal Admission Into Various Faculties.

Enugu State University of Science and
Technology, (ESUT) on Thursday announced
the immediate expulsion of about 544
students.
The affected students were alleged to have
secured what was termed as illegal
admission into various faculties in the
institution.
Most of the affected students were said to
be in their final year.
Serious tension has gripped the university
community as most of the affected students
have threatened a showdown with some of
the university officials who reportedly
facilitated their illegal admission into the
institution.
A press statement issued by the University’s
Director of Public Relations, Mr. Ossy
Ugwuoti said the expulsion is with
immediate effect.
"The Senate of the University at its 232nd
meeting observed that students from
various faculties and departments of study
had secured admission illegally into the
university.
“The Senate has therefore directed the
affected students, who are at their various
years of study to stop participating in all
school activities, return all ESUT materials in
their possession and vacate the University
premises immediately," he said.
The University authorities also warned that
any of the affected students found on the
campus of the university would be arrested,
adding that the names of the affected
persons had been forwarded to the police
for necessary action.
