Following an online publication claiming that some lecturers in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko are selling handouts and textbooks to the students of the institution, the Management of the University has debunk the purported viral news
In a statement made available to Newsline NG and signed by the institution's Principal Assistant Registrar/Head, Mr Victor. A. Akinpelumi noted that the claims by the online medium is untrue, unfounded and alien to the culture of the University.
The statement reads in part, "The attention of the Management of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria, has been drawn to an online publication which claimed that some lecturers in the University are selling handouts and textbooks to the students of the Institution.
"The Management of the University wishes to explicitly state that the claims by the online medium is untrue, unfounded and alien to the culture of the University, and should, therefore, be disregarded by the public, especially, students, parents, guardians and members of the University Community.
"While we want to note with pride that despite the financial difficulty in the country, the Institution has not, in any way, compromised its standard, integrity and values.
"As a matter of fact, because the University does not condone any form of extortions of students whatsoever, there have been various channels made available for our the students to report any perceived extortion and infraction on their rights.
"Once again, the University is urging the general public to treat the contents of the publication as false and calumny.
He however assured that the University Management will continue to uphold the extant rules and regulations governing the administration of the Institution.
