President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday gave vice chancellors a marching order to expel students with less than 0.5 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) from next academic session.
Such students, he said, are unserious elements that should not be accommodated any longer in higher institutions.
The President also cautioned governing councils and managements universities against muzzle-flexing and ego-tripping, which he said had thrown affected universities into avoidable crises.
Buhari spoke at the 31st convocation of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).
He further assured his administration was committed to the 2009 agreement entered into with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
This, he noted, led to the recent setting up of a committee to renegotiate the contentious agreement.
Buhari, who was represented by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Onwuka, told vice-chancellors and their managements to practise transparency, accountability, fairness and ensure discipline.
