FG proposes to expel undergraduates with less than 0.5 CGPA from next academic session

Minister of State for Education, Professor

Anthony Onwuka, yesterday disclosed that the

Federal government is proposing a new policy

that will enable Vice Chancellors of various

institutions to expel students with as low as

0.5 CGPA.



Onwuka who disclosed this at the 31st

convocation of the University of Port Harcourt,

said students with as low as 0.5 CGPA have no

business in the University and should no

longer be accommodated.



"We must stop to continue housing

adventurers, who have no business

remaining in the universities beyond

the time specified for their studies in

the universities. In that wise, it is being

proposed that at the end of this

academic year, any student with less

than 0.5 CGPA should cease to be a

student of the university and should be

shown the way out. The universities

must continue to have people who are

serious in what they have come to do. If

you have less than 0.5 in your CGPA,

you are out. You are out for good so

that the space will be left for those who

have come to do serious business"he

said.
