University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has expelled six students for acts bordering on misconduct. It also rusticated six and warned one for the same offence.

The university’s actions followed the recommendations of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee (SDC) during its 227th meeting.

According to the institution’s newsletter, ‘UNILORIN Bulletin’, obtained by our correspondent, the disciplinary actions include expulsion of six students, rustication of six students and warning to one student.

The six expelled students are Abdulhafeez Abdulhammed of the Department of Educational Technology, Faculty of Education; Esther Ajuma Matthew of the Department of Human Kinetics, Faculty of Education; Divine Tijesunimi Stanislous of the Department of Human Kinetics, Faculty of Education; Qozeem Abdulateef Mohammed of the Centre for Open and Distance Learning; Sormidat Oluwatosin Lawal of the Department of Health Education, Faculty of Education; and Doris Comfort Falusi of the Department of History & International Studies, Faculty of Arts.

The letters of expulsion directed the students to “immediately surrender all university’s property, including their student identity cards, to the Student Affairs” and prohibited them from accessing the university campus.

The students were also informed of their right to “appeal the decision to the University Council through their deans.”

Similarly, six other students were rusticated for one academic session (2025/2026 Academic Session).

They are Idowu Oluwadamilola Owoade of the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering & Technology; Quayum Damilare Aderibigbe of the Department of Finance, Faculty of Management Sciences; Onimisi Abdulmajeed Aliyu of the Department of Quantity Survey, Faculty of Environmental Sciences; Emmanuel Olayeni of the Department of Water Resources, Faculty of Engineering & Technology; Sulton Abidemi Salman of the Department of Agriculture, Faculty of Agriculture; and Faruq of the Department of Finance, Faculty of Management Sciences.

The rusticated students were instructed to “submit all university’s property, including their student identity cards, and to keep off the campus until the 2026/2027 Academic Session,” when they are expected to resume with “written evidence of rehabilitation from a recognised medical centre certified by the Director, University of Ilorin Health Services.”

One student, Isaac Chuks Okoh of the Department of Science Education, Faculty of Education, received a formal warning.

The warning cautioned the student to “maintain good conduct,” noting that “any repeat of the misconduct will attract stiffer disciplinary measures.”

The student was also directed to “report to the Student Affairs Unit to complete the process associated with the disciplinary action.”

The letters emphasised that the actions were taken “in accordance with the university’s rules and regulations, aimed at maintaining discipline and ensuring a conducive academic environment for all students.”
