Nasarawa State University, Keffi, NSUK, has rusticated 37 students for one academic session over their alleged involvement in “criminal conspiracy, inciting disturbance of public peace, and cyber-stalking.”
According to official documents obtained by news reporters on Monday, dated December 9, 2024, and January 21, 2025, the students were sanctioned for their participation in a WhatsApp group allegedly created to organize a protest against the university’s decision to introduce a third semester.
Following the discovery, the affected students were summoned before the Students’ Disciplinary Committee.
The University Senate, at its 123rd Regular Meeting on October 31, 2024, reviewed the committee’s findings and approved the recommendation to rusticate them for the 2024/2025 academic session.
In a letter titled: “Rustication for One Academic Session”, signed by the Registrar, Dr. Bala I. Ahmed, and copied to key university officials, the institution directed the affected students to stay away from the campus unless granted written permission.
They are required to return for the 2025/2026 academic session’s first semester, accompanied by their parents or guardians, and must submit a written undertaking pledging good behavior throughout the remainder of their studentship.
