The Federal University Dutse, Jigawa, has raised alarm urging the public to disregard a fake webpage purportedly designed for 2025/2026 admission into the institution.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the acting Director of Public Affairs, Alhaji Abdullahi Yahaya Bello, on Tuesday in Dutse.
Yahaya Bello said that the attention of the management of the university had been drawn to a fake institution’s website address and private mailbag, which was being used to scam unsuspecting admission seekers of their hard-earned money.
He noted that, the admission process at the university has not yet commenced.
“We only advertised our cut-off mark last week, and we are yet to announce a date for Post-UTME Screening.
“The university has an established channel of communication through its verified official website and official social media handles, and prospective applicants should only rely on these sources for information,” he said.
He urged applicants to ignore the fake phone numbers displayed on the fake website, noting that admission into the university is strictly based on merit and established JAMB admission criteria.
