The management of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) has suspended three students of its Faculty of Law for two academic years over alleged examination malpractice.
The suspension, which took effect on June 25, 2026, will run until June 24, 2028.
The university disclosed this in separate memos addressed to the affected students by its Registrar, Ambrose Ugwu, on Monday in Enugu.
The suspended students were identified as Isong Ugwu, registration number ESUT/2023030212973; Gad Nwosu, ESUT/2022030203441; and Roseline Nnamani, ESUT/2024030219772.
According to the Registrar, the three students—two males and one female—were sanctioned following the approval of the university’s Senate.
Ugwu said Vice-Chancellor Aloysius-Michaels Okolie, acting on behalf of the University Senate, approved the recommendations of the Senate Examinations Malpractice Committee.
The Registrar directed the affected students to immediately hand over any university property in their possession to their respective Heads of Department and vacate the university campus.
He also said the students’ sponsors and the National Universities Commission (NUC) had been notified of the disciplinary action.
The suspended students, according to the university, will be required to apply for readmission after the expiration of their two-year suspension in June 2028.
Meanwhile, the university exonerated another Faculty of Law student, Goodluck Iwuamadi, from an allegation of examination malpractice.
Iwuamadi, whose registration number is ESUT/2025030227502, was cleared following the recommendation of the Senate Examinations Malpractice Committee.
The university did not disclose details of the examination malpractice allegations against the three suspended students or the circumstances surrounding Iwuamadi’s exoneration.
