The management of Abia State University has approved the rustication of Onwuka, Chikezie Princewill, a 500-level Law Student of the University, for one academic session, 2021/2022, for falsifying his academic transcript and claiming to have graduated from the University, despite the fact that he still has unfinished courses to complete.

An Institute for Computer Studies (ICS) staff member, Mr. Bestman Ugorji, has also been suspended from his position at the University for six (6) months and with half salary for his role in helping the student post a fictitious result on social media. Management further requested that he be transferred out of the Institute upon the institute’s restart following the suspension.

Management has taken into consideration the findings and recommendations of the Panel that investigated the allegation against the student, and has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring transparency and credibility of degree certificates issued by the University, stating that any established case of corruption, forgery, or other vices will not be left without repercussions.
