The Federal University Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria has distanced itself from a purported Distance Learning admission opportunity being propagated by a group of fraudsters, cautioning the public not to fall for their tricks.

Besides, it said that the admission entitled “Admission, Admission, Admission!!!, FUOYE offers Distance Learning opportunity and Part-time Postgraduate Studies for Corporate Organizations and Interested individuals in collaboration with WAIIPAD (West Africa Institute of Policy and Academic Development) with its address at 3rd Floor, BASSAN Plaza, Independence Avenue, Adjacent National Bureau of Statistic (NBS), Central Business District (CBD), Abuja FCT,” which already in circulation did not emanate from the university.

Specifically, FUOYE said it had nothing to do with the so-called advertisement, describing it as the handiwork of fraudsters.

It, however, asked the public and the admission seekers to be wary of the fraudulent advertisement.

In a statement by the university registrar, Mr. Mufutau Ibrahim and made available to journalists in Ekiti State by Public Relations Officer, Mr. Foluso Ogunmodede, FUOYE insisted that the admission advertisement did not originate from the university.

“Consequently, FUOYE would like to reassure the public that it neither issued any notice nor authorized the purported Distance Learning admission in circulation,” it said.
