The management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) in Awka has
suspended five lecturers for examination misconduct.
The institution’s Director of Publications, Mr Emma Ojukwu,
confirmed the suspension in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
in Awka on Tuesday.
He said that the lecturers were suspended on March 2 for three
months with half salaries pending the outcome of the Senior Staff Disciplinary
Committee Report.
He said lecturers were from the Department of Pure and
Industrial Chemistry and the Department of Electronics and Computer
Engineering.
Ojukwu said that they were found culpable in the first semester
of 2013/2014 academic session for assisting students in answering questions and
frivolous award of marks to undeserving students.
The other offenses were failing to submit examination attendance
list, collection of money from students fro upgrading results, sharp practices and
irregularities in result sheets.
He said that the administrative verifications would soon be
conducted in other departments to fish out such culprits.
He said that the vice-chancellor of the university, Prof. Joseph
Ahaneku had warned some head of departments not to collect money from students
for registrations.
The director said that a review process had been instituted for
administrative action on the matter.
