A 300-level student of Physics with Electronics at Crawford University, Eboma Raymond, has been expelled following a decision by the institution’s Students’ Disciplinary Committee.
In an expulsion letter dated April 24, 2026, the university accused Raymond of multiple infractions, including making what it described as “seditious statements” against school 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, listing allegations such as unsubstantiated claims against the university, conduct deemed disruptive to campus order, and breach of the matriculation oath.
The Vice Chancellor, Solomon Olanrewaju Makinde, approved the immediate expulsion, directing the student to surrender all university property and vacate the premises without delay. The institution also confirmed that his parents and relevant authorities had been notified.
However, sources familiar with the situation claim the disciplinary action may be linked to Raymond’s criticisms of campus conditions. According to them, the student had raised concerns about deteriorating infrastructure, inadequate learning facilities, and policies perceived as unfavourable to students despite relatively high tuition fees.
Available fee records indicate that students in the College of Natural and Applied Sciences for the 2025/2026 academic session pay between ₦691,050 and ₦759,000.
Responding to the controversy, Vice Chancellor Makinde defended the university’s decision, stating that the institution acted in line with its established rules and disciplinary procedures, which align with national regulatory standards.
He noted that students are required to follow formal channels when expressing grievances, including engaging the Students’ Representative Council or contacting his office directly. According to him, failure to adhere to these procedures undermines order within the university community.
Makinde also reiterated that student unionism is not permitted at the institution, emphasizing that all students agree to this condition upon admission.
Describing the university as mission-driven, he added that reconciliation remains possible if the student chooses to comply with the institution’s values and disciplinary expectations.
