The University of Ilorin has taken disciplinary action against four students for various acts of misconduct. According to a recent statement from Kunle Akogun, the university’s Director of Corporate Affairs, the decision was made following recommendations from the Students’ Disciplinary Committee (SDC) and approved by the Vice Chancellor on July 5, 2024.
Two of the students have been expelled from the institution, while the other two have been rusticated. Rustication, which involves suspension for a specified period, means these students will be away from campus for one academic session.
The rusticated students are Olabanji Toluwanimi David and Dosunmu Ezekiel Olabanji. Toluwanimi, a student in the Department of Communication and Information Science within the Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences, and Ezekiel, from the Department of Marketing in the Faculty of Management Sciences, will both be suspended for one academic year. Olabanji Toluwanimi David (Matric. No. 21/52HL103) and Dosunmu Ezekiel Olabanji (Matric. No. 20/66MG101) are both affected by this action.
Additionally, Obadairo-Yusuf Adedoyin Babatunde, a student in the Department of Telecommunication Science in the Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences, is also rusticated for one academic session (Matric. No. 20/52HP052).
The expelled students are Olayoonu Oladayo Amos and Ibrahim Taoheed. Olayoonu, who was studying in the Department of Human Kinetics within the Faculty of Education (Matric. No. 19/25OA142), and Ibrahim, from the Department of Education Management in the Faculty of Education (Matric. No. 19/25OE111), have been permanently removed from the university. This action reflects the university’s commitment to maintaining discipline and upholding academic standards.
