FUTA Warns Admission Seekers Against Fraudsters and Fake Admission Offers

The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) has warned prospective students, parents, sponsors and members of the public against the activities of fraudsters and impostors attempting to scam admission seekers under the guise of offering admission into the university for the 2026/2027 academic session.

The university said its attention had been drawn to the activities of unscrupulous individuals who are allegedly misleading members of the public with false claims about the FUTA admission process and offering bogus admission opportunities in exchange for money and other financial benefits.

FUTA clarified that, like other similar institutions, admission into the university is conducted under the aegis of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

According to the university, the admission process is carefully monitored and is designed to prevent both internal and external manipulation.

The university therefore advised all intending candidates, their parents, sponsors and members of the general public to be wary of scammers and individuals peddling false information about the admission process or claiming to have the ability to secure admission for unsuspecting candidates.

Candidates, parents, guardians and members of the public were strongly advised not to pay money to any individual or group for the purpose of checking results, uploading results or influencing the admission process in any way.

FUTA further stated that admission is strictly merit-driven and cannot be influenced through any individual or group.

The notice was signed by C. O. Adeleye, Registrar, Federal University of Technology, Akure.
