The management of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) says the purported list of fake professors making the rounds on various media platforms is fake.
Charles Adeleye, Registrar and Secretary to Council & Senate in a statement obtained from the institution’s Facebook page, disclosed that FUTA would have completely ignored the patently false information, but for the spurious claim that some names on the concocted list were identified as belonging to the University.
“The claim is not only baseless but completely fictitious.
“The names paraded under FUTA are pure fiction and no such names exist in the staff list of the University,” he said.
The Registrar further noted that names of all bonafide members of staff and those in the professorial cadre are listed in the University Calendar.
He added that names of all Professors in the University can also be accessed in the Order of Proceedings for the 33rd Convocation Ceremony which was published in December 2023.
“Members of the general public are therefore enjoined to completely disregard the fictitious publication and treat those circulating it as purveyors of lies and falsehood.”
