UNIVERSITY OF BENIN, BENIN CITY
NOTICE OF DISCLAIMER
The University of Benin (UNIBEN) hereby draws the attention of the general public, particularly prospective students, parents, guardians and other stakeholders, to credible reports that certain unscrupulous individuals are allegedly collecting money from unsuspecting prospective students and their parents with false promises of securing admission into the University.
The University of Benin states categorically and unequivocally that no individual, agent, intermediary or unauthorized person has been mandated or authorized to collect money from any candidate or parent for the purpose of securing admission into the University of Benin.
Members of the public are , therefore, strongly advised to disregard, avoid and immediately report any person or group of persons claiming that they can influence, facilitate or guarantee admission into any programme of the University in exchange for money or any other form of gratification.
The University operates a transparent and established admission process, and all admissions are processed strictly in accordance with approved guidelines and procedures through the appropriate official channels, including the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) and other officially designated University platforms.
Prospective students and parents are again cautioned not to patronize admission racketeers, fraudsters or self-styled agents, irrespective of the promises, assurances or influence they claim to possess.
The University of Benin shall not be held responsible for any financial loss or other consequences arising from dealings between members of the public and unauthorized persons claiming to facilitate admission into the University.
Furthermore, the University warns all individuals involved in this fraudulent and reprehensible practice to desist forthwith. Anyone found engaging in admission-related fraud, impersonation, extortion or any activity capable of bringing the name and reputation of the University into disrepute shall be reported to the appropriate law-enforcement agencies and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
The University remains firmly committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, fairness and merit in its admission processes. We will continue to take all necessary measures to protect prospective students, parents and the general public from deception and exploitation, while safeguarding the hard-earned reputation and integrity of the University of Benin.
