Specifically, the assertion that students are required to pay a sum of N8,400.00 (Eight thousand four hundred Naira) for the transmission of their results to the College Board was dismissed as baseless and without merit.
The publication in question was described as a deliberate attempt to malign the College of Postgraduate Studies, tarnishing the reputations of the names of individuals associated with it. The Management emphasized that there is no truth to the claims of threats issued to students regarding the withholding of their results due to non-payment of the alleged fee.
Furthermore, the statement clarified the process of result management within the college, emphasizing transparency and adherence to established procedures. Results, it asserted, are not generated by the college but are instead compiled and presented to the College Board for approval. Students have full access to their results through their respective departments, with no secrecy surrounding the process.
