The authority of University of Ilorin has described a statement currently trending on the social media platforms stating that the University has announced the date and the procedures required in respect of the screening of candidates for the 2017/2018 admission exercise. The university’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Mr Tunji Akogun stated that the purported announcement even went as far as directing admission seekers to a phantom website on which to upload eligibility details.
‘We want to state categorically that University of Ilorin is yet to commence the screening for the 2017/2018 admission exercise. In fact, we are yet to release the cut-off marks for this year’s admission exercise. The online announcement is the handiwork of scammers and the 419ers who are bent on taking advantage of the anxious admission seekers to fleece them of huge sums of money. Perceptive members of the public ought to know, even from the headline of the statement, that such could never have emanated from the authority of the University of Ilorin. We therefore warn the admission seekers, parents and guardians to exercise some patience and wait for the official release of the screening instruction by the University. They should also be wary of falling cheaply for the antics of the scammers’, he submitted.
