One of the private universities in the South West part of Nigeria, Achievers University, Owo, in Ondo State, has expelled no fewer than 15 female students over acts of indiscipline involving the production of sex videos.
The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Prof. Bode Ayorinde, made this known on Friday during the institution’s matriculation ceremony, where 936 newly admitted students formally took the matriculation oath.
Ayorinde warned students against behaviours capable of jeopardising their academic careers, stressing that the university maintains a zero-tolerance stance on indiscipline.
According to him, the dismissed students violated the institution’s rules and regulations by engaging in the recording of sex videos.
Addressing the students, he said, “You put your phone before you and you’re dancing naked and they put Achievers University, I will dismiss you. Use social media for positive things.
“One of them, who would have graduated, was caught threatening that if Boko Haram came to Achievers University, he would deal with them, essentially inviting Boko Haram. We refunded his N2.3 million and dismissed him.
“Use the money you’re paying here wisely, not to make sex videos or take drugs. We have dismissed more than 15 female students for sex video offences.
“If you want to be a graduate and rule the world, you won’t engage in such acts. Women are not meant for entertainment; they can rule the world. We also frown at bullying. You are all equal before us. It cannot happen here. If you’re caught, you are gone.”
Ayorinde also recalled that in 2025, the university expelled 17 students for fraudulent practices aimed at securing examination clearance without settling school fees.
He further revealed that three students were dismissed for involvement in the sale of hard drugs, urging members of the university community to report cases of drug abuse rather than suffer in silence.
The pro-chancellor attributed some cases of student misconduct to parental indulgence, advising parents and guardians to encourage their wards to remain focused on their studies.
He added that fighting and alcohol consumption are prohibited within the institution, noting that any violation attracts outright expulsion. He also said both staff and students found guilty of sexual molestation would face sanctions.
In his remarks, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Amos Aremu, said the university places strong emphasis on quality assurance, discipline and academic integrity.
While addressing the newly admitted students, Aremu said their admission marked more than access to tertiary education, describing it as “an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery, intellectual growth, and societal impact.”
He noted that students should expect rigorous academic demands, including intense lectures, examination pressure, sleepless nights, and the challenge of balancing studies with personal development.
“These challenges are not meant to deter you but to refine you, build resilience, develop critical thinking, foster a lifelong love for learning, and awaken the leader in you,” Aremu said.
He further urged, “University life is a tapestry woven with threads of excitement, discovery, and inevitable challenges. These are not punishments; they are preparations. Embrace them, and you will emerge stronger and ready to make an impact.”
