Court orders reinstatement of university lecturers sacked for plagiarism

‎A court has ordered the reinstatement of two lecturers of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, who were dismissed three years ago for alleged plagiarism.

The National Industrial Court sitting in Lagos declared the termination of their appointments as wrongful, unlawful, null and void.

The lecturers, Janet Bamgbose and Akeem Bamigbade, both of Chemistry Department, were sacked on May 2013 after an investigation and disciplinary committee recommended their dismissal which was upheld by the governing council.
