Harboursandport.com: Lagos - The Covenant University,
Ota, Ogun State, has stated that the institution does not engage fake professors.
Recall that a viral list
allegedly from the National Universities Commission, NUC showing 100 fake
professors from some Nigerian universities, mentioned four among the list to be
staff of Covenant University.
Reacting to the said
list, the University’s Head of the Communication Unit, Ms ChiChi Ononiwu, on
Sunday debunked the claim, noting that such names were not in the payroll of
the school.
Ononiwu: "The
attention of the university management was drawn to a purported publication by
the National Universities Commission, NUC titled – “About 100 Fake Professors
Uncovered In Nigerian Universities”.
“The publication listed
four such Professors at Covenant University.
“The University
Management wishes to set the record straight, as we have no such names as listed
in the said article in our payroll.
“Also, Covenant had
never interacted with any of the four persons at any time, and in any capacity
as the university would not appoint unqualified persons as professors,” she
said.
She said that the
institution wishes to put it on record that their recruitment exercise is
always rigorous, adding that It was worthy to also note that appointments and
promotions criteria were of world-class standard.
“By this statement, the
university advised our esteemed stakeholders to kindly disregard this
misinformation,” she said.
