Most of the expelled students (130) were from ND I Business Administration.
Mrs Omale stated that the affected students were from four departments (Business Administration, Mathematics and Statistics, Science Laboratory Technology, Library and Information Science).
She added that the Academic Board of the polytechnic considered and approved the withdrawal of the students and supplementary results at an emergency meeting.
