A 300-level student of Crawford University, Igbesa, has been expelled by the institution’s management following allegations of misconduct linked to criticism of the school’s facilities and learning conditions.
The student, Eboma Raymond, who was studying Physics with Electronics in the Department of Physical and Earth Sciences, was expelled after a recommendation by the university’s Students’ Disciplinary Committee.
In an official letter dated April 24, 2026, the university accused Raymond of multiple offences, including making “seditious statements” against the institution’s authorities, insubordination, and actions capable of inciting unrest on campus.
“The Vice Chancellor has received and considered the recommendation of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee in respect of your gross misconduct,” the letter stated.
It further outlined the allegations as including making “grave and unsubstantiated allegations” against the university and its governing bodies, as well as engaging in conduct deemed capable of undermining discipline, peace, and order within the university community.
The letter also accused the student of inciting protest and unrest, describing the actions as a breach of his matriculation oath.
The Vice Chancellor, Solomon Olanrewaju Makinde, approved the immediate expulsion.
“He has therefore approved that you be expelled from the university with immediate effect. You are to hand over your student identity card and all other university property in your possession and vacate the premises immediately,” the letter added.
The institution said the student’s parents and relevant authorities had been notified of the decision.
However, sources familiar with the situation alleged that the expulsion may be connected to concerns raised by the student regarding conditions on campus.
According to the sources, Raymond had spoken out about deteriorating infrastructure, inadequate learning facilities, and policies perceived by some students as unfavourable despite the institution’s tuition fees.
The development has drawn attention to broader concerns about student welfare and infrastructure in private tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
