The management of University of Ibadan has cautioned students not to fall for the antics of suspected fraudsters who claimed that students have been allocated into halls of residence ahead of the next academic session.
The management speaking through the Director of Public Communication, Mr Olatunji Oladejo said the institution is not behind the trending social media information which also expects students to make payment for accommodation.
According to Oladejo, no student is expected on campus and as such no accommodation will be allocated to any students, adding that the 2020/2021 First Semester lectures will be delivered online in line with a revised academic school calendar.
He warned that the student registration portal has not even been opened.
He, however, assured all new students that the opening of the registration portal and the orientation programme for 2020/2021 session will commence on or before Saturday, 20 February 2021.
Oladejo said “Management has noted the information trending on the social media indicating that the University has published allocation of students into their respective Halls of Residence and students are expected to make payments.
“The University hereby wishes to inform the new students and the general public to disregard the information as student registration portal has not been opened. Kindly beware.
