To reflect its intolerance for any form of truancy, that northern state government has threatened to prosecute students of its origin  caught  for engaging in examination malpractice in  higher  institutions across the country.

The state  Director of Higher and Technical Education, Mallam Ahmadu Abdulahi gave the hint while speaking at this year’s   matriculation of 242 students of Crescent University, Abeokuta, at the weekend.
