“Beware of Scammers,” FUOYE warns aspirants as some are paying N15,000 for slot

The Federal University Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) management has warned the general public and the current aspirant of the varsity to be beware of scammers, who are asking people to fill a special form using their JAMB details and pay a N15,000 into the registrar bank account to enable them secure admissions in the ongoing 2021/2022 admissions screening exercise.

The University management while debunking the information which was said to have originated from the varsity, said it is from suspected scammers who want to use the opportunity to defraud and scam admissions seekers of their rightful earn money.

According to the Public Relations Officer of FUOYE, Mr Foluso Ogunmodede, who made this clarification in a statement on Wednesday, said the fake directive and on a forged school letterhead paper with a logo had gone viral on social media.

He asked not only the admission seekers and their parents but also members of the public to disregard the purported information as it is fake and the handiwork of fraudsters.

He said admission into FUOYE was not a cash and carry but strictly on merit and excellence and therefore any candidate who meets up with the requirement would certainly be given admission.
