FUTA Warns Public Against Fake Social Media Accounts Impersonating Vice-Chancellor

The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) has issued a public disclaimer warning members of the public against fraudulent social media accounts falsely claiming to represent the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adenike Temidayo Oladiji.

According to the institution, the circulating Facebook account, along with similar cloned profiles, does not belong to the Vice-Chancellor and should be disregarded in its entirety.

The University cautioned that any interaction, engagement, or financial transaction carried out through such impersonated accounts is entirely at the risk of individuals involved, and neither the Vice-Chancellor nor FUTA will accept responsibility for any resulting losses or consequences.

FUTA urged the public to verify all official communications through the University’s approved and verified channels, stressing that cyber impersonation poses serious risks to institutional reputation and public trust.

The statement reaffirmed the University’s commitment to protecting its leadership identity and maintaining secure communication channels for accurate dissemination of information.
