To ensure appropriate planning, the University of Nairobi deregistered 30,000 students from its records.
According to UoN Vice Chancellor Prof Stephen Gitahi Kiama, a mass clean-up operation was carried out in the institution, focusing on students who had overstayed, those who had deferred their studies for an extended period of time, and those who were on suspension.
The main purpose of the exercise, according to the VC, is to ensure that they only have active students, which will help the institution plan appropriately.
“Some students register, do one course then disappear but do not notify us of their whereabouts. We are combing through the system because we need to plan for the active students,” he remarked.
The University Funding Board (UFB) withheld over Ksh5 billion, forcing UoN to deregister the 30,000 students.
