Alert: Fake Facebook Account Poses as Federal Polytechnic Bauchi Rector, Public Cautioned

The Federal Polytechnic Bauchi has recently fallen victim to such fraudulent activities, where a Facebook account bearing the name and pictures of the institution's Rector, Alh. Sani Usman, was found to be misleading the public. This article serves as a clarification and a word of caution for all.

The management of the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi wishes to bring to the attention of the public the existence of a fake Facebook account purporting to belong to the esteemed Rector, Alh. Sani Usman.

It is crucial for individuals to be wary of such fraudulent practices and ensure they are connecting with the authentic social media accounts of public figures.

The Rector's genuine Facebook account is maintained solely for personal use and is not intended for official undertakings. With nearly two decades of valuable administrative experience, Alh. Sani Usman would not compromise the credibility of his position by conducting official business through a personal social media account. This distinction is essential to ensure accurate communication and avoid potential confusion that might arise from unauthorized representations.
