At least 49 Higher National Diploma (HND) final-year students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) are facing expulsion due to allegations of presenting fake National Diploma (ND) results. This discovery was made during a result verification process conducted by the polytechnic.

According to the institution’s public relations officer, ‘Yemi Ajibola, the verification process is a standard procedure for authenticating documents submitted by admitted students. Ajibola explained that some results had not been verified due to delays in confirmation from the students’ previous schools, while others were found to be fake.

The affected students come from various departments, including Mass Communication, Pharmaceutical Technology, Marketing, Science Laboratory Technology, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Accountancy. Some of the fake results were allegedly obtained from institutions such as The Polytechnic, Ibadan; The Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro; Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa; and Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa, Oyo State.

Ajibola stated, “We have our internal mechanisms for verifying results submitted by every student of the polytechnic. Some of the results had yet to be verified because the schools they came from had yet to confirm their results, while some of the results were found to be fake.”

“We had a backlog of results to verify because of some administrative issue that necessitated the delay, and we are working on getting them resolved as soon as possible.”

The students with fake results will not be immediately expelled but will be given the opportunity to defend their results. Ajibola said, “They will not be expelled immediately. The institution will write to each of the affected students to come and defend the result they presented, and in a circumstance where we detect an error in the verification process, we will rectify it. However, anyone who could not substantiate his/her results will be expelled.
