The University of Lagos Distance Learning Institute issued a stern warning to prospective students regarding fraudulent admission agents operating under false pretenses. The institute cautioned applicants against engaging with individuals posing as officials to defraud unsuspecting candidates seeking admission.
The institute released an official statement on Monday clarifying its position on admission processes. According to the statement, the Distance Learning Institute maintains no affiliation with external admission agents, consultants, or representatives.
The institute emphasized its official stance regarding admission representatives. “The University of Lagos Distance Learning Institute wishes to inform the general public, particularly prospective applicants, that it has no affiliation with any external admission agents, consultants, or representatives claiming to act on its behalf in the processing of applications, admissions, or related activities,” the statement read.
The institute urged applicants to verify all admission-related information through official channels. Furthermore, the statement served as a reminder that all legitimate admission processes occur directly through the university’s recognized platforms and administrative offices.
This warning highlighted the persistent challenge of admission fraud facing Nigerian tertiary institutions. Consequently, prospective students received encouragement to exercise vigilance and confirm the authenticity of any individual or entity claiming to represent the university in admission matters.
