If you thought your campus had drama, wait till you hear what’s happening at ESUT — the streets are hot and the tea is boiling! A full-blown grade-selling scandal has just exploded in Enugu State University of Science and Technology, and it’s not looking good for some folks in power. Two lecturers and one student have been suspended over jaw-dropping allegations of running a shady “upgrade-for-cash” network. Word on campus? Students were allegedly coughing up between ₦100K to ₦150K per course just to bump grades — talk about premium GP hustle! Sources say one of the lecturers was rolling deep with a student accomplice, creating a pay-to-pass pipeline where marks could be bought, not earned. Payment receipts, WhatsApp chats, and anonymous tips reportedly helped blow the lid off the entire operation. Now, ESUT authorities aren’t smiling. Disciplinary panels are in full swing, and the suspended staff might be heading for outright dismissal or even criminal charges. Students are shook — not because they didn’t suspect this was happening, but because it finally got exposed. As one final year student said, “This one don burst street, we’ve been hearing whispers, but now it’s in our faces.” Is this just the beginning? ESUT is on lockdown, and everyone’s holding their breath. More names might still drop.
