UNILORIN: We’ve no fake professors

The management of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) in Kwara State has dismissed reports that 11 fake professors were uncovered in the institution.

UNILORIN made this known in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Kunle Akogun, on Sunday, January 7, 2024.

Akogun stated: “We don’t have fake professors and they do not exist in our university.

“The National Universities Commission had categorically dismissed the information as fallacious fabrication of mischief makers.

“The Commission has dissociated itself from the list that first surfaced in December 2019.

“We deem it expedient to categorically disassociate our institution from the story of the 11 fake professors listed against our university.

“None of the persons on the list is on the university’s nominal roll, nor had any of them ever had any dealing with the University of Ilorin at any time or in any guise.”

He noted that the clarification was necessary to assure the stakeholders that UNILORIN had built an age-long reputation for high standards, integrity, and strict adherence to best global practices.

The university spokesman added that issues of staff promotion remained unsoiled and would never be compromised.

“We view the report as another antics of purveyors of fake news and mischief makers,” Akogun added.
