AAU Ekpoma Warns Newly Admitted Students Against Clearance Fee Scams

The Ambrose Alli University (AAU) Ekpoma administration has issued a cautionary notice to newly admitted students, warning them of an exploitative scam targeting first-year enrollees. Reports indicate that Mr. Stevenson, operating through an entity known as "Steventech Academy," has been soliciting excessive fees under the pretense of providing assistance with the mandatory clearance process.

AAU clarified that essential clearance documents, such as the JAMB Original Result, Acceptance Letter, Affidavit, Birth Certificate, and Local Government Certificates, are available to students at minimal or no cost through authorized university channels. Students are strongly advised to avoid third-party services for document processing, as the entire clearance procedure can be completed independently by following the official guidelines provided by the university.
