The management of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) has disclosed that some lecturers of the institution have resorted to giving students scripts to write exams at homes, hotels and relaxation places.
These allegations were contained in a memo dated Tuesday, August 10, 2021, and signed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration, Professor Michael Peter Okon.
The management lamented over what it described as “obnoxious and abhorrable” acts of sorting, extortions and sexual harassment going on in the institution.
The memo which has gone viral read:
“It has come to the knowledge of Management that some teaching staff have revived the obnoxious and horrible acts of sorting, extortion and sex for grades/sexual harassment.
“Some departments and lecturers have been specifically fingered and investigations have commenced. Management also has information to the effect that lecturers have resorted to giving students scripts to write exams at homes, hotels and relaxation places.
“All those involved in these despicable activities are hereby warned to desist and repent. In fact, they will soon be invited to interact with the Disciplinary Committee.”

Meanwhile, this development comes weeks after The Street Journal reported that the UNICAL management lamented as 42000 graduands of the school had abandoned their certificates. The school had given those affected 3 months to come retrieve them or risk losing them permanently.
