TASU Students Warned About Accommodation Scam: University Officials Urge Vigilance

 The Dean of Student Affairs Division, Dr. Rebecca Kenseh Daniel Irany, addressed the issue, emphasizing the importance of staying vigilant and following proper procedures for securing university accommodations.

Dear students of TSU,

I hope this message finds you well. It has come to my attention that some individuals are attempting to take advantage of our student community by selling forms or requesting money for bed spaces within our university accommodations. I write this to address this concern and assure you that such activities are indeed a scam.

Accommodation within the JJT and Undergraduate hostels has been fully allocated, constituting around 15% of the total allocation. However, I wish to emphasize that this is just the beginning. There are more hostels that will become available for allocation. I urge you not to fall prey to those who seek to exploit your situation.

To clarify the correct procedure: once you have paid your school fees, make your reservation for accommodation. The university will then allocate hostels to students based on the availability and your reservation. It is crucial to understand that no monetary exchange should occur between students and unauthorized individuals. Please do not succumb to any such requests.

I want to assure you that the renovation promised by the governor is in progress and, upon completion, will allow for more accommodation options. The allocation process will continue accordingly. Let us be patient and look forward to these improvements that will benefit all of us.

I extend my gratitude to our esteemed Governor, the Vice-Chancellor, and each and every student of TSU for your dedication to academic excellence. Your commitment is truly commendable, and it is my sincere hope that you will not be taken advantage of during this time.

In case anyone approaches you to collect money for accommodation, I urge you to promptly report this matter to me, Dr. Rebecca Kenseh Daniel Irany, the Dean of the Student Affairs Division. Your cooperation will play a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity of our student community.

Let us stand united against these fraudulent activities and ensure that our journey through higher education remains focused on learning, growth, and mutual respect. Thank you for your attention, and together, let us contribute to a scam-free environment within our university.

Warm regards,

Dr. Rebecca Kenseh Daniel Irany
