The Registrar and Secretary to Senate, Dr Olukayode Gregory Obayomi, urged students and parents to rely on the university’s official channels for information.
He advised stakeholders to ignore unverified reports and social media claims, which he said could raise unnecessary worry and expose people to fraud.
Students are encouraged to follow the approved calendar, prepare for the new session and monitor the university’s website and student portals for updates.
