‘Expel Students With Less Than 0.5 CGPA’ – Buhari Orders VCs Through Minister
President Muhammadu Buhari has
advised vice chancellors of universities
to expel students with less than 0.5
cumulative grade point average
(CGPA).
Speaking on Sunday at the 31st
convocation of the University of Port
Harcourt (UNIPORT), Buhari said such
students should not be allowed to
loiter around in higher institutions.
Buhari, who was represented by
Anthony Onwuka, minister of state for
education, said: “We must stop to
continue housing adventurers, who
have no business remaining in the
universities beyond the time specified
for their studies in the universities.”
“In that wise, it is being proposed that
at the end of this academic year, any
student with less than 0.5 CGPA should
cease to be a student of the university
and should be shown the way out.
“The universities must continue to have
people who are serious in what they
have come to do.
“If you have less than 0.5 in your CGPA,
you are out. You are out for good so
that the space will be left for those
who have come to do serious business.”
Buhari also expressed his commitment
to the 2009 agreement entered into
with the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU).
