The Senate of Prince Abubakar Audu University (PAAU), Anyigba, has approved the withdrawal of 27 students from the institution over poor academic performance and failure to register for two consecutive semesters.
The decision was reached at the Senate’s 166th Regular Meeting held on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, following the presentation of the Results Verification Committee’s report, which reviewed the academic standing of students across various faculties and departments.
According to the report, 11 students were withdrawn for failing to meet the University’s minimum academic requirements, while 16 others forfeited their studentship for failing to register for two consecutive semesters, in line with the institution’s Academic Regulations.
The affected students are drawn from the Faculties of Arts and Humanities, Education, Management Sciences, Social Sciences, and Medicine and Surgery.
Speaking during the meeting, the Vice-Chancellor and Chairman of Senate, Prof. Salisu Ogbo Usman, commended members of the Results Verification Committee for their diligence, objectivity, and commitment to upholding the University’s academic standards.
He reaffirmed the Senate’s commitment to maintaining academic excellence, discipline, and quality assurance, stressing that while the University provides a conducive environment for learning, students are expected to fulfil their academic responsibilities and comply with institutional regulations.
Prof. Usman also urged continuing students to remain focused on their studies, make effective use of the University’s academic resources, and strive for excellence in both learning and character.
The University directed the affected students to return all University property in their possession, including identity cards and other official items, to the Security Unit before completing their exit from the institution.
The announcement was contained in a statement signed by the University’s Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Uredo Omale.
