The management of the University of Ilorin has cleared the air on including the university's name in the trending list of 100 fake professors in some universities in the country as purportedly uncovered by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

It clarified that none of the persons on the list was on the university‘s nominal roll, nor did anyone among them ever have any dealing with the University of Ilorin at any time or in any guise.

In a statement titled: ‘Purported fake professors, not known to UNILORIN --- Management’, the University’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun explained that though the National Universities Commission, NUC dissociated itself from the list when it surfaced in December 2019, the university “deems it expedient to categorically disown the 11 so-called professors listed against the University of Ilorin in the recently exhumed report

“None of the persons on the list is on our University's nominal roll, nor had any of them ever had any dealing with the University of Ilorin at any time or in any guise.

“This clarification is necessary to assure our esteemed stakeholders that UNILORIN's well-heeled reputation for high integrity and strict adherence to best global practices in everything we do, especially on staff promotion, remains unsoiled and can never be compromised.

“We view the trending report as another antic of purveyors of fake news and mischief makers, and they should be rightly ignored,” Mr. Akogun wrote
