The Senate of Northwest University Kano has approved disciplinary measures against dozens of students found culpable of examination malpractice during the institution's second semester examinations for the 2024/2025 academic session.

According to an official bulletin issued by the university's Public Relations Unit and dated June 30, 2026, the decisions were reached following recommendations submitted by the Senate Committee on Examination Misconduct and subsequently adopted during the Senate's 66th Statutory Meeting held on June 17 and 18, 2026.

The university announced that a total of 34 students were expelled for various examination-related offences, while 18 others were rusticated in accordance with the institution's examination regulations as contained in the Students' Handbook.

In addition, 22 students received written warning letters after being found guilty of lesser violations of the university's examination rules.

The Senate also cleared one student, identified as Rukayya Ahmad Zukuri, after reviewing the circumstances surrounding the case and determining that there was insufficient basis for disciplinary action.

The institution stated that the sanctions were imposed in line with its commitment to maintaining academic integrity and preserving the credibility of its examinations and certificates.

A detailed list of affected students, including those expelled, rusticated and issued warning letters, was attached to the official bulletin released by the university.

The latest action underscores the university administration's resolve to enforce strict compliance with examination regulations and discourage all forms of academic misconduct among students.
