The management of Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU) wishes to alert the university community and the general public about an ongoing scam involving an individual impersonating an official of the university.
Details of the Scam
The fraudulent individual, known as Dr. Sunny, falsely claims to be associated with the Exams & Records Division of AKSU. He is reportedly soliciting payments under the name Dada O. at UBA Bank (account number: 2053XXXX) for services related to the final clearance of graduating students.
Official Status
Please be aware that Dr. Sunny is not affiliated with Akwa Ibom State University in any capacity and does not have any authority to act on behalf of the institution. His claims are entirely fraudulent and should be treated as such.
Official Procedures for AKSU Services
The university emphasizes that all services related to academic matters must be conducted through the appropriate channels. Specifically, students and the public are advised to direct all inquiries and transactions to the Office of the Director of Academic Affairs at AKSU’s Main Campus, located in Ikot Akpaden, Mkpat Enin. The services that must be handled through this office include:
- Final clearance for graduating students
- Issuance of notifications of degree results
- Requests for transcripts
- Collection of degree certificates
- Verification of academic documents
Importantly, there are no financial charges for these services when processed through the official university channels.
Warning to Students and the Public
Anyone who engages with Dr. Sunny regarding university-related matters does so at their own risk. The university strongly discourages any transactions or requests for academic records outside of the designated university office.
To protect yourself from falling victim to this scam, ensure that all official business is conducted directly with Akwa Ibom State University. Remain vigilant and informed, and do not engage with unauthorized individuals claiming to represent the institution.
Conclusion
We urge everyone to share this information widely to prevent others from becoming victims of this fraudulent activity. Let’s work together to ensure the integrity of our academic community and keep our students safe from scams. Thank you for your cooperation.
