The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), has refuted claims suggesting the existence of counterfeit professors within its academic faculty.
The institution’s management dismissed the circulating reports as groundless, emphasizing that the names of individuals alleged to be fake professors among its academic staff are entirely fabricated.
In an official statement, FUTA’s Registrar, Charles Adeleye, urged the public to ignore the purported list being circulated, clarifying the misinformation.
“It 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 names paraded under FUTA are pure fiction, and no such names exist in the staff list of the university.
“Names of all bonafide members of staff and those in the professorial cadre are listed in the university calendar,” Adeleye said.
