Every year, hundreds of people gets unsolicited text messages informing them that their names has been accepted for admission into Novena University and they should either visit the school for further processing of the admission or in order to write post UTME. 90% of the youths who got this messages have never heard of the school so they come online desperately searching for answers.
Many have wondered if these text messages are genuine but, when they contact the school, the school refuse to acknowledge it publicly.
Are the text messages offering admission into Novena University Ogume genuine?
The short answer to that question is YES under some circumstances. Please read on…
Unlike in UNILAG where the school authorities there disowned and declared such type of text messages as fraudulent; The management of Novena University has adopted the tactics of sending SMS notification of admission to prospective admission seekers. Most of those messages are actually from the university and their are ways of distinguishing the legitimate SMS admission-alerts from the fake once.
How do you differentiate the legitimate SMS admission-offer from the fake once sent by scammers?
If the SMS asked you to visit the school (in person) for post UTME, screening or further processing of the admission offer, then the message is real.
Since its inception, the university have been sending these text message admission alert to hundreds of people each year. However, we live in Nigeria which is notoriously known for internet fraud (aka 419). It is reasonable to conclude that soon or later, scammers might chose to send fake admission offer via SMS, just like they are already doing to prospect of University of Lagos (ironically, Lagos seems to be the world capital for advance-fee scam).
The only way to distinguish the real SMS from the scam is; The ones sent from the school would ask you to visit the Amai Campus in Delta State without requesting for any down payment or deposit (prior to you visiting the school). While those from fraudsters would prefer you call them so they can talk you into giving them money.
How did the school get your contact information?
To those of you seeking admission, receiving a text message like this could feel surreal and divine. You might be wondering how they got your contact information or even knew that the owner of that phone number intended to get into the university this year. This is because Novena University Ogume buys the contact information of candidate who registered for UTME under JAMB. The university’s management seems to target those who choose DELSU as their first or second choice when registering with Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Buying mailing list from JAMB is a multimillion naira business. Some unknown private universities and polytechnics are willing to purchase thousands of contact information (of registered candidates) for hundreds of thousands of naira. It has proven to be effective for those institutions who still practice this unconventional marketing strategy.
This method has exposed the school to people who would have otherwise never thought of attending it. The SMS is a form of publicity campaign that is producing results; otherwise the school could have discontinued the practice a long time ago.
