As the 2024/2025 admission season approaches, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) has issued an important scam alert to protect prospective students and their families from fraudulent individuals. These scammers falsely promise admission spots in exchange for money, taking advantage of vulnerable candidates.
How Admission Scams Work
The fraudsters typically pose as “admission facilitators,” claiming they can influence the university’s admission process. Many candidates and their families have fallen victim to this scam, believing they can secure admission by paying these individuals. Unfortunately, they lose their money without receiving the promised admission.
University’s Official Stand
Ahmadu Bello University firmly opposes any attempts to influence admissions through monetary exchange. The university emphasizes that it follows strict and transparent admission procedures, and no one can bypass these systems in exchange for payment. ABU strongly urges students to avoid anyone making such promises.
Reporting Fraud
If you come across anyone engaging in this fraudulent activity, you are encouraged to report them to the university authorities immediately. ABU’s security team is collaborating with external agencies to track down and apprehend scammers, ensuring the safety and rights of genuine candidates.
For accurate and up-to-date information, always refer to the official ABU website and stay vigilant throughout the admissions process.
