Ekiti State University, (EKSU) Ado-Ekiti has declared that the list of fifteen persons, said to have been identified by the National Universities Commission (NUC) as fake Professors, are not known to the university.
The management of the university in a statement signed by the Head, Directorate of Information and Corporate Affairs, Bode Olofinmuagun, said none of the names listed had worked in the institution before or presently.
The statement made available to newsmen yesterday in Ado Ekiti reads: “The attention of the Management of Ekiti State University, Ado – Ekiti has been drawn to a list of 15 fake Professors which purportedly emanated from the National Universities Commission (NUC) and associated with Ekiti State University, Ado – Ekiti.
“The EKSU Management wishes to make it abundantly clear that the list being circulated and credited to Ekiti State University did not emanate from the university.
“Moreover, none of the names that appeared there is known to the university as none of them has ever worked in the university.
“In spite of the NUC’s clarification on the matter, it is equally important for Ekiti State University to out rightly condemn, denounce and dissociate itself from the evil publication which could have negative impacts on the image of our esteemed university.”
It advised and enjoined members of the general public to disregard the fake list and avoid having anything to do with any of the names mentioned there.
