The Enugu State University of Science and Technology has suspended three students of its Faculty of Law for two academic years following findings of examination malpractice.
The suspension, which commenced on June 25, 2026, will remain in force until June 24, 2028.
The university’s Registrar, Ambrose Ugwu, disclosed the decision in separate memos issued to the affected students and made available to journalists in Enugu on Monday.
The suspended students are Isong Ugwu, with registration number ESUT/2023030212973; Gad Nwosu, ESUT/2022030203441; and Roseline Nnamani, ESUT/2024030219772.
Ugwu said the disciplinary action was approved by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Aloysius-Michaels Okolie, on behalf of the University Senate, following recommendations from the Senate Examinations Malpractice Committee.
The Registrar directed the affected students to surrender any university property in their possession to their respective Heads of Department and leave the university campus immediately.
He added that the sponsors of the students and the National Universities Commission had been formally notified of the disciplinary action.
According to the Registrar, the three students would have to apply for readmission after completing their two-year suspension in June 2028.
Meanwhile, the university cleared another Faculty of Law student, Goodluck Iwuamadi, of an allegation of examination malpractice.
Iwuamadi, who has registration number ESUT/2025030227502, was exonerated following the recommendation of the Senate Examinations Malpractice Committee.
The development underscores the university’s enforcement of its examination regulations and disciplinary measures against students found culpable of academic misconduct.
