The management of UNILAG has warned fresh candidates to shun any
admissions information sent via text messages. The University of Lagos
UNILAG has warned candidates seeking admission into the institution to
avoid text messages notifying them of admission.
The management disclosed that some unknown persons have been making
money off the desperation of fresh candidates for the new session who
have yet to discover their status months after the release of the
Universities Matriculation Examination which was conducted by the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB. In a statement released on
Monday, September 12, the institution said:-
“It has come to the notice of the university authorities that a text
message is being sent to prospective students by unknown persons
notifying them that they have been given admission to the University of
Lagos. “This is a scam. The message did not emanate from the University
of Lagos. “Members of the public are advised to ignore this message as
the University of Lagos does not send text messages to admitted
candidates and it does not require anyone to call any number. “The
University website is the only authentic source of information on
admissions.”
Candidates are advised to check the university’s website for all information pertaining to admissions and more.
