Accrording to a report, JUPEB’s letter confirming the latest
development is being expected to reach DELSU this week.
The official who craved anonymity, as he was not authorised
to speak with journalists on the matter, disclosed on Monday evening that the
delisting of DELSU from being an affiliated member and JUPEB’s cancellation of
the 2021 preliminary examinations held in the school over alleged widespread
examination malpractices “was a miscarriage of justice.”
“JUPEB has reviewed the case and found out that DELSU was
not among those involved in exam malpractice,” the source said.
“DELSU has been absolved”, he further stated explaining that
“the institution (DELSU) is expecting JUPEB’s letter confirming the latest
development this week”.
“The letter may be available either tomorrow or next. So the
anxiety over DELSU JUPEB is cleared. We were never involved in malpractice and
we had to protest that there must be a miscarriage of justice”, he submitted.
Another source said that the institution’s JUPEB Director
did not attend the virtual meeting where the delisting decision was reached and
so there was nobody to speak for the institution at that forum.
“The matter has been treated. We were never involved in
malpractice,” the source insisted.
It was learnt that JUPEB had after a virtual meeting,
addressed a letter dated January 25, 2022, to DELSU’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof.
Andy Ogochukwu Egwunyenga.
That letter read partly, “Following the report received from
the investigative panel regarding the conduct of the 2021 JUPEB examinations,
the academic board and the JUPEB governing board approved that the indicted
universities be delisted as an affiliate member of JUPEB for five years and the
results of the examinations conducted in these universities be cancelled due to
widespread malpractices”.
It read further, “Delta State University is one of the
indicted universities hence, the Vice-Chancellor is hereby notified of the
approval of JUPEB governing board.
“The governing board of JUPEB is also displeased with this
outcome of the event, which was due to poor conduct of examinations in the
university. The governing board of JUPEB at an emergency meeting held on
January 25, 2022, has, therefore, directed that all students currently
registered for 2021/2022 session of the programme in your university be moved
to the nearest affiliate university to write the 2022 JUPEB examinations.
”The Vice-Chancellor is expected to decide and communicate
to the registrar JUPEB, the nearby JUBEB approved university where the
registered students can complete the programme studies and write 2022
examinations.”
