The Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, says it
has expelled 29 students for presenting fake
certificates.

Titilayo Obadimu, the Deputy Registrar
(Academics), said on Friday in a statement that
of the number, some were expelled for
examination misconduct during the 2014/2015
first semester.

Obadimu said the academic board had
approved the expulsion of the students.

According to Obadimu, using fake certificates
to secure admission contravenes the rules and
regulations of the institution.

The statement states in part: “The board
considered the report on students with fake
certificates or who have made alterations on
their documents and cases of misconduct by
students during the first semester of
2014/2015.

“Sixteen full-time Higher National Diploma
students and three B.Sc. full-time students
presented fake or altered National Diploma
(ND) results.

“Five ND students, three HND students and two
B.Sc. students were expelled for examination
malpractice.

“The students presented fake or altered
National Diploma results to register for HND
programmes in violation of the institution’s
rules and regulations.

“Affected students are advised to hand over all
college property including student identity cards
in their possession to the various heads of
departments, the Libarian and the Dean of
Students’ Affairs with immediate effect.”
