The statement read, “The attention of management of FUOYE has been drawn to a fake announcement that the university is currently recruiting to fill academic and non- academic vacancies.
“The fake announcement, which is created to defraud members of the public, has gone viral on the social media.
“You would recall that FUOYE VC has warned against this same fake news in May, this year when the fake advert circulated on the social media.
“FUOYE is currently not recruiting and whenever the need arises for the announcement of authentic recruitment exercise, it will be made known through several reputable channels of communication, such as print and electronic media not just on the social media alone.
“We wish to categorically state that the said announcement is fake and it is the handiwork of fraudulent people, who are determined to tarnish the good image of our upwardly mobile citadel of learning.”
