The management of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has issued a serious warning to the public regarding the deceptive activities of individuals falsely representing themselves as having authority over university procurement processes.
These unscrupulous individuals are reportedly engaging in fraudulent schemes, misleading unsuspecting members of the public with promises of contracts, supplies, or other business opportunities with the institution.
UNILAG’s administration emphasizes that these claims are entirely baseless and are designed to defraud individuals. The university has a clearly defined and transparent procurement policy and procedure that does not involve the use of intermediaries or unauthorized persons to solicit bids or award contracts. All legitimate procurement activities are conducted through official university channels and are publicly advertised when necessary, in accordance with established guidelines.
The university urges the public to exercise extreme caution and verify the authenticity of any procurement-related claims made by individuals or groups purporting to act on behalf of UNILAG.
They advise against engaging in any financial transactions or sharing personal information with such individuals. Any suspicious activity or solicitations should be immediately reported to the university’s official channels or law enforcement agencies.
This public alert aims to protect individuals from falling victim to these fraudulent schemes and to safeguard the integrity of the university’s operations.
