The management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, Ogun State, has expelled 365 students for securing admission into the institution with falsified academic credentials.
The affected students, who were enrolled in various Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes, were found to have submitted fake National Diploma (ND) results and forged academic transcripts from different institutions during the admission process.
The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the Polytechnic’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Yemi Ajibola. According to him, the decision followed a comprehensive verification exercise carried out on credentials submitted by students during admission and registration.
Ajibola noted that the action reflects the institution’s commitment to maintaining academic integrity and enforcing its zero-tolerance policy against fraud and academic misconduct.
A breakdown of the affected students showed that the School of Communication and Information Technology recorded the highest number with 156 expulsions. This was followed by the School of Business and Management Studies with 117 students, the School of Science and Technology with 54, the School of Engineering with 36, while the School of Environmental Studies recorded two cases.
Reacting to the development, the Rector of the Polytechnic, Dr. Koye Jolaoso, warned prospective applicants against using fake academic documents to gain admission into the institution.
He emphasized that the decisive action demonstrates the Polytechnic’s determination to uphold excellence, transparency, credibility, and professionalism while strengthening the integrity of its academic system.
