The Federal polytechnic, Auchi, Edo State, has expelled 40 students over alleged result falsification and deficiency at the point of entry.
The affected students were involved in forgery and falsification of results to gain admission into National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes.
This was contained in a circular endorsed by the polytechnic spokesperson Adebola Ogunboyowa.
The circular noted that the students were expelled following the outcome of the regular verification exercise for 2020/2021 academic session.
Ogunboyowa said the expelled students cut across different departments in the polytechnic.
In a related development, the circular added that the Rector of the institution, Dr Salisu Umar, had proposed 12 new programmes to commence in 2022/2023 academic session.
