FUTMINNA Withdraw Over 460 Students From Institution For Poor Academic Performance

The Federal University of Technology, Minna, in Niger state, has directed not less than 460 students admitted for the just concluded academic session to withdraw from the institution. It was learnt that letters of withdrawal were served on the affected students by the school management last Friday.

According to investigation, all the affected students were in the 100 level cadres and could not meet the requirement set for students to move to the next level in the pursuit of their education by the National Universities Commission.

It was learnt that the rusticated students could not garner a GP of 1.5 after the session and by virtue of the guideline they could not continue their programmes.

It was also gathered that with the cancellation of Pass certificates by universities in the country by NUC, and the inability of the students to make the cut-off grade, there was no way they could perform better in the next level of their education necessitating the decision to ask them to withdraw.

Students from virtually all the programmes being offered by the Institution were affected by the withdrawal policy.
