FUTO Lecturer Destroys Student’s Project, Claims It Was “Too Good” to Be His

A dramatic incident reportedly occurred at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), when a lecturer allegedly destroyed an architecture student’s project, claiming that the student was incapable of producing such an impressive design.

 

According to eyewitnesses, the student presented his final-year project—an architectural model that showcased creativity and innovation—when the lecturer questioned the authenticity of the work. The lecturer reportedly stated that the design was "too good" to have been created by the student and then proceeded to damage the project in anger.

 

The incident has since gone viral on social media, sparking outrage among students and netizens who referred to it as "academic bullying" and "an abuse of power." One student witness remarked, “He worked on that project for months. Seeing his effort destroyed like that was heartbreaking. Even if the lecturer had doubts, there are better ways to verify."

 

Meanwhile, there are growing calls for the school management to investigate the lecturer’s actions and ensure fairness for the affected student. Many Nigerians on social media are also demanding reforms in how lecturers conduct student assessments, citing this incident as another example of toxic academic culture in some institutions.

 

As of the time of this report, FUTO authorities have not issued an official statement regarding the incident.
