The Management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, on Thursday, disclosed that 30 students have been expelled from the institution, while 60 were suspended for examination misconduct.

The Polytechnic recently expelled 30 students and suspended another 60 students for examination misconduct.
“Some people have penchant for tinted vehicles, but for the security of our staff and students, they are not allowed to gain access into our campus. We have also made efforts to register the motorcycle operations at the gate to ensure those that carry our students are known to us.
“I will only advise you not to take motorcycles on a long distance if you must take it at all.
“As fresh students, know those who you associate with, refuse any unsolicited assistance from any quarter, run away from anything that is capable of dragging the name of the Institution and your families to the mud. Rather, invest your energy in positive and productive works that will write your name in gold.”
