 MAPOLY May Expel 49 Final-Year Students Over Fake ND Results

….. Reinstates Students’ Union Executive


Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) may expel 49 final-year Higher National Diploma (HND) students after a result verification process revealed they allegedly submitted fake National Diploma (ND) results for admission into the HND programs.


The verification update, released by the institution, identified affected students across departments such as Mass Communication, Pharmaceutical Technology, Marketing, Science Laboratory Technology, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Accountancy. Fake results were reportedly sourced from institutions including The Polytechnic, Ibadan; Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro; Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa; and Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa, Oyo State.


MAPOLY’s Public Relations Officer, Yemi Ajibola, explained that the verification process was part of routine checks to authenticate documents submitted by students. He noted that while some results were awaiting confirmation from issuing institutions, others were confirmed as fake.


Ajibola clarified that the affected students would not be expelled immediately but would be invited to defend their results. "If errors are identified in the verification process, they will be rectified. However, students unable to substantiate their results will face expulsion," he said.


Meanwhile, MAPOLY management has reinstated the Students’ Union Executive Council, which was dissolved earlier this week following a planned student protest.


The reinstatement followed the intervention of the institution’s Governing Council, led by Emeritus Prof. Kamaldeen Balogun. The council directed the union to oversee upcoming elections and transfer leadership to newly elected officials within four weeks.


In a statement, Ajibola thanked the staff, students, and the community for their patience and cooperation during the recent challenges and expressed optimism for a smooth resolution.
