313 students will be dropping out of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja due to low academic performance in the first semester of the academic year 2022–2023.
The withdrawal came after the Academic Board Central Result Verification Committee’s report was discussed at a board meeting on the main campus on June 22, 2023.
In a statement released on Friday, Omale Oredo, head of the public relations and protocol section, listed the students who withdrew as coming from 17 departments and 28 programs.
The board, which was presided over by the polytechnic’s rector, Dr. Salisu Ogbo Usman, revealed that the decision was made as part of a commitment to uphold high academic standards and produce deserving academic ambassadors.
In the same way that he urged them to follow the law and abstain from all social vices, he urged pupils to make appropriate use of the resources available for learning.
