The management of the University of Jos has come out to debunk information being circulated by some people through text messages on the 2016/2017 admission. In a statement by the registrar Mr. Monday Danjem, the management calls on the general public to be careful with fraudsters. the statement reads thus ”It has come to the attention of Management of the University of Jos that fake text messages are currently being circulated to prospective candidates seeking admission into the University, requesting them to immediately commence registration in the University with the payment of a clearance fee.

The text messages also provide a phone number 09034349452 purportedly from the University asking the prospective candidates to contact the number for the said payment and processing of their clearance.

For the avoidance of doubt, Management wishes to inform members of the public that the 2016/2017 UTME and Direct Entry Supplementary Admission List is still being processed and has not yet been released. Members of the public especially prospective candidates seeking admission into the University are, therefore, enjoined to disregard any such text messages or contrary information on the current admission exercise as such did not emanate from the University.

Members of the public are hereby assured that they will be adequately informed immediately the 2016/2017 Supplementary Admission List is released while any other relevant information will be properly communicated through the media”

Registrar
