The National Universities Commission( NUC), has denounced the list of fake professors in some Nigerian universities being circulated in the media by some mischief makers which reporting was ascribed to a Lagos based electronic media as untrue and could not have emanated from the apex regulatory educational body without due consultation with their accredited universities.

According to the Deputy Executive Secretary in-charge of its Academic Directorate, Dr. Noel Abiodun Saliu, such information should be taken as mischievous and unfounded, saying it could not have emanated from the National Universities Commission, (NUC). He asserted that such publication should be taken as the handiwork of mischief-makers, who are out to destroy the hard earned reputation of those prestigious institutions whose names were mentioned and also to undermine the work of the apex regulatory educational agency.
In a statement made available to newsmen, he rejected, denounced and dissociated the university from such abominable publication. He noted that the persons whose names were listed as professors in Redeemer’s University are NOT our staff and have never worked in Redeemer’s University at any point in time, in ANY capacity whatsoever.
He, therefore, informed the general public that these professors are not known to the Commission, and anyone who deals with them as individuals or a group, does so at his or her own risk, and warned them to be wary of fake news. He further advised them to always cross-check the fact from the Commission, which is the apex regulatory educational body that oversees universities in Nigeria.
