"The University administration insists that admission into the University is on purely on merit. Do not give money to anyone for admission as such money will be a waste. It is on record that some persons including staff of the University who collected money to assist candidates get admitted could not succeed last year.
As a result a staff of the university abandoned his work and ran away till today. The other one whose case was reported to the University administration has been dismissed from the university.
Some criminals have opened facebook pages in the name of our Vice-chancellor Prof.Joseph Eberendu Ahaneku. This is to
inform the public that our vice-chancellor has no facebook account or page.
Ignore any solicitations for favour emanating from such fake facebook pages." He stated.
