UniCal announces suspension of 19 students over alleged exams malpractice
The University of Calabar (UniCal) has suspended 19 students over their alleged involvement in examination malpractice.
The decision followed recommendations made by the institution’s Students’ Disciplinary Committee and was approved by the university’s Senate.
The suspension was announced in a letter signed by the Director of Administration, Dr Citizen Ekpo, on behalf of the Registrar, Dr Chukwuka Icha. The letter was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Calabar.
Speaking on the development, the Head of the university’s Public Relations Unit, Mr Effiong Eyo, told NAN that the suspension took effect after the Senate reviewed and accepted the recommendations submitted by the disciplinary committee.
Eyo said that the affected students were suspended for one academic session covering the 2025/2026 session.
“The university has said the students would resume their studies in the 2026/2027 academic session,” he said.
Eyo said that those affected were students of different faculties, including Administration, Social Sciences, Biological Sciences, Arts, Education, Allied Medical Sciences, Pharmacy and Environmental Sciences.
Others, he said, were from Nursing Science, Peace and Conflict Studies, Science Laboratory Technology, Estate Management, Marketing and related departments.
The spokesman said that the university has directed all deans, Heads of Departments (HODs) and relevant units to enforce the suspension and ensure full compliance with the directive.
