President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday gave vice chancellors a marching order to expel students with less than 0.5 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) from next academic session.

Such students, he said, are unserious elements that should not be accommodated any longer in higher institutions.

The President also cautioned governing councils and managements universities against muzzle-flexing and ego-tripping, which he said had thrown affected universities into avoidable crises.

Buhari spoke at the 31st convocation of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).

He further assured his administration was committed to the 2009 agreement entered into with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).



This, he noted, led to the recent setting up of a committee to renegotiate the contentious agreement.

Buhari, who was represented by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Onwuka, told vice-chancellors and their managements to practise transparency, accountability, fairness and ensure discipline.

He said: “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.

On governing council, he charged them to avoid ”unnecessary muzzle-flexing and ego-tripping that throw affected universities into avoidable crises.



“They must look after the welfare of staff and students and ensure proper development of their universities.

On the contentious 2009 agreement with ASUU, Buhari pleaded with the lecturers to give peace a chance, by coming to the negotiation table in the best interest of higher education.

He reassured ASUU and other unions that government was committed to quality education in the universities and other layers of the education sector, including the welfare of staff in the system.

...but mine is 0.49. Does it mean that I will be kicked out?

Where is Buhari's WAEC certificate?

Attending military seminars in US doesn't make him a B.sc holder and will not end the call for him to show that certificate.

My President is always on point.

There is no point in you remaining as a university student. You can either drop out voluntarily or the university will forcefully throw you out.

You don't give what you don't have.....

And what was his GPA?

C dis illiterate nd certificateless president

Abeg pack well

The president is right, drifters don't have any business in our universities,
however many won't take him serious because he doesn't have a school cert.

Coming from one of the dullest human ever created ...God is indeed merciful

It would have made sense if Bubu possessed a certificate of excellence in any institution aside the doubtful ones from the military.

Aside the above, a student with that low point has no business in the university.

Lol...buhari wit fake waec certificate, who doesn't even have Nepa bill bcuz he doesn't pay for electricity supply is d one asking VCs 2 expel students...hahahahaha

That is a statement of result as provided by the school


It's like saying someone who graduated in obokun high school in 1989 expects his statement to carry Oyo state because Osun was formerly Oyo state

whereas obokun high school is presently in Osun state


It's good to catch fun but there's a limit to copy and paste to spite other people

I. Merely tried to explain the transcript I wasn't defending, and if you feel that's what I am doing, that's your own conclusion


If Buhari failed maths and hausa that's two out of 9


Dino melaye has just 3 credits, it's less presentable or dependable


Also, I am certain that Nigerian army did not require maths and hausa credits to join the army way back then, Buhari may not have taken another gce exam the man spent the entirety of his life in the army

Lol, Buhari feeding his trolls with this comment.

too many idiots in the helm of power


obviously bubu didnt make that....he only signed ot
my ish is with the bastard who suggested it

I didn't realize some people think it's always about Buhari


If they are expelled, they'll sit up or learn a trade,


This is actually a move towards the future, a future where people actually study to graduate


But you can't see that yet



Same applies to the corruption war, you condemned it, frustrated it , blackmailed it

Today dollar exchanges for less than 350 to naira because holes were plugged


I won't reply your mentions anymore

Have a pleasant Sunday

This man eeehhh.Make I no talk make. bcus wetin der my mind .

nepapole:

You read the topic , yet you still ask ..thats why you have 0.49 gpa.

A student with less than 1 cgpa is that one a student?

I relatively share his sentiment,afterall b.sc is not a guaranty to making it in life.

If baba could be occupying the nation's number position with a nepa bill as am told,how much more a university drop out that has been certified of ssce.
