The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has denied fixing a deadline for the collection of degree and diploma certificates.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports UNN made this known in a statement released on Tuesday by Dr. Okwun Omeaku-Chief (Dr), Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the institution.
The statement reads: “Attention of the management of the University of Nigeria has been drawn to a circular mandating graduates of our University who are yet to collect their degree and diploma certificates to do so before February 4, 2022.
“That circular, which was first published in a rogue Facebook account, did not emanate from our university, neither was it signed by any known officer of the University of Nigeria.
“While we encourage our graduates to come for their certificates, we urge the general public to disregard the deadline stipulated in the fake circular.
“For the records, the official Facebook handle of our university is “@universityofnigeria”. The general public should beware of such fake Facebook pages as University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), University of Nigeria Nsukka and University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
“The University has commenced the process of shutting down the fake accounts used by merchants of falsehood to deceive unsuspecting members of the public”.
