Redeemer’s University, Ede, Osun, has denied having in the institution, some of the fake professors listed in a social media post that has gone viral.

The post, sourced from a broadcast medium, listed 100 names as being fake professors in Nigerian universities.

The broadcast medium earlier named the National Universities Commission, NUC, as its source.

Some of the fake professors listed were said to be teaching at Redeemer’s University.

However, the institution debunked the list through Mr. Adetunji Adeleye, its Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs Directorate.

Speaking in Osogbo on Saturday, he said the institution rejected, denounced and dissociated itself from the “abominable publication”.

‘We don’t know them’

Adeleye stated that the persons whose names were listed as fake professors in Redeemer’s University had never worked in the university at any point in time or in any capacity whatsoever.

He said: “We, hereby, inform the general public that those ‘professors’ are not known to us. Anyone who deals with them as individuals or group, does so at his or her own risk.

“We also urge the general public to be wary of fake news. They should always cross-check facts at the NUC, the regulatory body that oversees universities in Nigeria.”

Adeleye quoted Dr Noel Saliu, Deputy Executive Secretary at the NUC in Charge of its Academic Directorate, as saying that such information should be taken as mischief and could not have emanated from the NUC.
