In an online press statement made on Wednesday 7th September 2016; Authorities of the University of Lagos have warned candidates seeking placement in the institution to shun any admission notification that comes through a text message. It describe these messages as scam and advice the recipient of such message to ignore them.
“It has come to the notice of the University authorities that a text message is being sent to prospective students by unknown persons notifying them that they have been given admission into the University of Lagos.
This is a scam. The message did not emanate from the University of Lagos.
Members of the public are advised to ignore this message as the University of Lagos does not send text messages to admitted candidates, and it does not require anyone to call any number.
The University website is the only authentic source of information on admissions.”
The clarification comes amid the rising anxiety among candidates over their admission status for the 2016/2017 academic session.
