President Muhammadu Buhari has advised Vice Chancellors of
universities to expel students with less than 0.5 cumulative grade point
average (CGPA).
He made the call on Sunday through the Minister of state for
Education, Anthony Onwuka 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.
“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.” Onwuka said on behalf of the President.
