Federal University Lokoja has dropped a big reminder. The second semester exams are set to begin on Monday, 1 September 2025. With that comes a stern warning: play by the rules or face the music. Nobody wants their years of study cut short by a careless mistake, yet every session someone tries it.
Offences and their penalties
The school has laid it all out, no sugar-coating. If you break the rules, the punishment is already waiting. Some are heavy, others lighter, but none are pleasant. Here’s the breakdown:
- Disrespecting or insulting an invigilator – rustication for 2 semesters
- Entering with textbooks, notes, or cheat papers – expulsion
- Asking or giving oral assistance inside the hall – rustication for 2 semesters
- Impersonation, writing for another candidate – expulsion
- Caught with answer booklet that already has writing – expulsion
- Caught with answer booklet blank but unauthorised – rustication for 2 semesters
- Threatening or assaulting an exam officer – expulsion

Staff accountability too
This warning is not just for students. Any staff member caught helping candidates cheat, extorting money, or demanding favours in exchange for grades will face the Staff Disciplinary Committee. The rules cut both ways.
