Achievers University, Owo, Ondo State, has expelled no fewer than 15 female students for acts of indiscipline involving the production and circulation of explicit sex videos, an offence the institution says violates its code of conduct.
The disclosure was made by the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Prof. Bode Ayorinde, during the university’s matriculation ceremony held on Friday, where 936 newly admitted students formally took their oath.
Addressing the fresh students, Ayorinde warned against behaviours capable of jeopardising their academic future, stressing that the university operates a strict zero-tolerance policy on indiscipline.
According to him, some of the expelled students were caught recording themselves nude and tagging the institution on social media platforms, an action he described as unacceptable and damaging to the university’s image.
“You put your phone in front of you, dance naked, and tag Achievers University, I will dismiss you. Social media should be used for positive things,” he warned.
The Pro-Chancellor also narrated how a student, who was close to graduation, was dismissed after making statements perceived as inviting Boko Haram to the institution. He disclosed that the university refunded the student’s N2.3 million fees before expelling him.
“Use the money you pay here wisely not to make sex videos or take drugs. More than 15 female students have already been dismissed for sex video-related offences,” Ayorinde said.
He further emphasised the institution’s stance against bullying, drug abuse, alcohol consumption, fighting, and sexual misconduct, noting that any student or staff found guilty would face strict sanctions.
In a broader reflection, Ayorinde recalled that in 2025 alone, 17 students were dismissed for engaging in fraudulent practices to obtain examination clearance without settling their school fees. He also revealed that three students had been expelled for dealing in hard drugs, urging students to report such activities rather than suffer in silence.
He blamed some parents and guardians for enabling misconduct among students and appealed to them to encourage their wards to focus on their studies.
“If you want to graduate and rule the world, you won’t engage in such acts. Women are not meant for entertainment; they can rule the world,” he added.
In his remarks, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Amos Aremu, reaffirmed the university’s commitment to discipline, quality assurance, and academic integrity.
He described admission into the university as more than a pathway to higher education, calling it “an invitation to a journey of self-discovery, intellectual growth, and societal impact.”
Aremu noted that students should expect rigorous academic demands, sleepless nights, and examination pressures, stressing that such challenges are meant to build resilience, critical thinking, and leadership capacity.
“University life is filled with excitement, discovery, and inevitable challenges. These are not punishments but preparations. Embrace them, and you will emerge stronger and ready to make an impact,” he advised.
