UI expels 78 students for poor performance

Authorities of the University of Ibadan have asked 78 students of the school to withdraw from the institution based on poor academic performance.

A breakdown of the withdrawn students indicated that six of them gained admission into the university through the Direct Entry mode, 66 through University Tertiary Matriculation Examination while six got into the university through UME.

The bulletin, which was signed by the Registrar of the institution, Olujimi Olukoya, said the premier university would continue to uphold the highest standards which the school had been known for.
