The Management of Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU), Gadau, Bauchi State, has alerted unsuspecting members of the public, especially desperate admission seekers, to beware of fraudsters selling fake admission letters.

The university, on Saturday, stated that its attention has been drawn to fraudulent activities by impostors who are circulating fake admission letters in the name of the University.

According to the Public Relations Officer of SAZU, Auwal Hassan, “Specifically, a document titled ‘Provisional Letter of Admission into Bauchi State University, Gadau, Bauchi State for the 2025/2026 Session,’ has been falsely linked with Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU) to mislead unsuspecting applicants.

“The University Management categorically stated that SAZU, Bauchi is a distinct institution and should not be confused with Bauchi State University, Gadau (BASUG), as fraudsters are deliberately exploiting this similarity to deceive candidates.

“SAZU stressed that admission into SAZU is conducted only through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) and the University’s official portal.

“The University declares that it has not released any admission letters for the 2025/2026 Academic Session outside the official channels.

“Any demand for payment of fees (such as so-called “acceptance fees”) to unauthorized persons or accounts is fraudulent and must be disregarded.

“The University urged prospective students, parents, and guardians to confirm all admission offers through JAMB CAPS and the SAZU Admissions Office.

“Report any suspicious communications, letters, or requests for payment to the University’s Security Unit or the nearest law enforcement agency.

“The management is working closely with security agencies to identify and prosecute those involved in these fraudulent activities.

“For genuine admission updates, please use the University’s official website: www.sazu.edu.ng.” (Nigerian Tribune)
