The Management of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai wishes to debunk a video clip going viral to the effect that the Vice Chancellor, Professor Abu Kasim Adamu was seen saying a total of four to five thousand students of the University are dropping out because of financial problems.

We hereby state that the video clip was wrongly recorded and made public and intended to cause mischief. There was no professional representation in the recording to warrant public attention.

It was not an interview as claimed, but during an impromptu visit to the University Management by Director General, Student Affairs, Comrade Bello Barau Sheriff and his team to submit a letter on student Nelfund loan. 

Parents and the general public are therefore, advised to disregard the video clip going round as the Visitor/His Excellency, Farmer Governor Umaru Mohammed Bago's led administration in Niger State is very passionate and making commendable efforts to address the issue of scholarships.

Accordingly, parents are enjoined to remain calm and watch over their wards as they pursue there academic activities.
