Controversy has erupted at following the expulsion of a 300-level student, Eboma Raymond, after he allegedly criticised the institution’s policies and campus conditions.
The university, located in , confirmed the expulsion in an official letter dated April 24, 2026, stating that the decision was based on recommendations from its Students’ Disciplinary Committee.
According to the institution, Raymond was found guilty of multiple offences, including making “seditious statements,” insubordination, and actions capable of inciting unrest within the university community.
“The Vice Chancellor has approved that you be expelled from the University with immediate effect,” the statement read, directing the student to vacate the premises and return all school property.
However, sources familiar with the situation claim the expulsion may be linked to the student’s outspoken criticism of alleged poor infrastructure, inadequate learning facilities, and what he described as “draconian policies,” despite high tuition fees.
Findings indicate that students in the College of Natural and Applied Sciences reportedly pay between ₦691,000 and ₦759,000 per academic session — a figure critics say does not reflect the condition of facilities on campus.
Reacting to the controversy, the Vice Chancellor, , defended the university’s action, insisting that all students are bound by rules agreed upon during matriculation.
“Every organisation has its rules and procedures. Students are expected to follow laid-down channels for grievances,” he said.
Makinde also noted that the university does not permit student unionism, adding that this policy is clearly communicated to students before admission.
In a remark that has drawn mixed reactions, he warned against actions that could “incur the wrath of Heaven,” describing the institution as a mission-driven university guided by religious principles.
Despite the firm stance, the Vice Chancellor hinted at the possibility of reconciliation if the student seeks redress through appropriate channels.
SUNTV Global Channel reports that the development has sparked wider debate over students’ rights, freedom of expression, and the balance between discipline and accountability in Nigeria’s private university system.
