Eight students of David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences, Uburu, Ebonyi State, have been expelled from the institution for misconduct and indiscipline.

The vice chancellor of the institution, Professor Jesse Uneke, who made the disclosure during the matriculation ceremony at the university campus, said the Senate of the school approved disciplinary action on 31 students.

He said, “Eight students have been expelled, three students received a one-year suspension, seven students received a one-semester suspension, two students received two months’ suspension, six students bagged a one-month suspension, one student received two weeks’ suspension and four students received warning letters.

“The university maintains high discipline, rules and regulations, no student moves out of the University without approval, we expect you to conduct yourself in the highest level of discipline.

He said 800 students matriculated during its third edition of the ceremony, adding that the institution has six faculties: Basic Medical Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Health Sciences/Technology, Natural Sciences and Applied Health Sciences.

“Over 800 students duly registered were admitted to study various courses and disciplines. We are committed to giving students the best in training, and research, we have digitalised all our academic processes.

“I hereby announce that the university has achieved stability in our academic activity without disruptions, our intention is to make the best university in the world,” the VC said.
