Kogi varsity okays withdrawal of 27 students over poor academic performance, others
The Senate of Prince Abubakar Audu University (PAAU), Anyigba, has approved the withdrawal of 27 students for poor academic performance and failure to register for two consecutive semesters, in line with the institution’s academic regulations.
The decision was taken during the Senate’s 166th Regular Meeting held on July 29, 2026, after members considered a report presented by the Results Verification Committee.
The committee assessed the academic standing of students across the university’s various faculties and departments.
According to the report, 11 students were withdrawn for failing to meet the university’s minimum academic standards, while 16 others lost their studentship after failing to register for two consecutive semesters, an offence that attracts automatic forfeiture of studentship under the institution’s regulations.
The affected students are from the Faculties of Arts and Humanities, Education, Management Sciences, Social Sciences, and Medicine and Surgery.
Speaking at the meeting, the Vice- Chancellor and Chairman of Senate, Prof. Salisu Ogbo Usman, commended members of the Results Verification Committee for their diligence, objectivity and commitment to maintaining the University’s academic standards.
He reaffirmed the Senate’s commitment to sustaining academic excellence, discipline and quality assurance, stressing that while the University remains committed to providing a conducive environment for learning, students must also uphold their academic responsibilities and comply with institutional regulations.
The Vice-Chancellor urged continuing students to remain focused on their studies, make effective use of the University’s academic resources and strive for excellence in both learning and character.
Meanwhile, the University directed the affected students to return all University property in their possession, including identity cards and other official items, to the Security Unit before completing their exit from the institution.
The announcement was signed by the University’s Public Relations Officer, Mrs Uredo Omale.
