Kaduna Polytechnic has suspended a head of department for academic corruption.

The unnamed lecturer is said to have taken money from students and allowed them to have their scripts after examination so as to copy answers from the marking scheme.

KadPoly rector Idris Bugaje disclosed this in interview with Daily Trust correspondent.

Bugaje who took office last October introduced the Policy and Transparency Unit (PTU). The unit he said helps to improve the system on a continuous basis as well as check both academic and financial corruption, which he said has eaten deep into the fabrics of the Polytechnic.

According to him, the unit also checks exam malpractice. “We have discovered a lot of malpractices going in the system. Lecturers including heads of departments collecting money from students and allowing them to have their scripts after examination so as to copy from the marking scheme in order to get an ‘A’. One HOD has already been suspended for that and he is been investigated, his case will go to the governing council very soon,”
