University of Ibadan Expels 97 Students…


The University of Ibadan has expelled 97 students for extremely poor performance in their academics. PUNCH reports that the students failed to achieve the minimum requirement at the end of the 2015/16 academic session.

In a statement released by the university’s Registrar, Olujimi Olukoya, three of the students dropped out, while others affected were in different levels in seven different faculties. And this includes final year students.

“The Senate, at its meeting of Monday, February 1, 2016, approved that the candidates should withdraw from the university for failure to obtain the minimum academic requirements at the end of the 2014/2015 session,” the statement said.

However, the university has been ranked as the best in the country, with the University of Lagos coming second.


“Being number one in Nigeria and number one in West Africa should not be taken for granted,” the Vice-Chancellor of UI, Prof Abel Olayinka, said. “The real challenge is for us to be ranked among the top five in Africa in the next few years. This is possible given the pedigree of Ibadan over the last 68 years.”
