UNN Debunks Allegations of Admission Irregularities!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has strongly denied recent allegations of irregularities in its 2025/2026 admission process, stating that the claims are “false and maliciously intended to discredit the integrity of the university.”

What We Know:

• A viral post had accused UNN officials of manipulating admission slots and engaging in racketeering.
• In a statement released on Thursday, UNN’s Registrar, Dr. Mrs. C.N. Okeke, reaffirmed that the university strictly follows merit-based criteria in line with JAMB guidelines.
• The institution warned that it will take legal action against individuals peddling misinformation about its processes.

Quote:

“The University of Nigeria remains committed to transparency, equity, and due process in all its operations, especially admissions,”
— Dr. Mrs. C.N. Okeke, UNN Registrar

Why It Matters:

• UNN is one of Nigeria’s premier institutions, and allegations of corruption could damage its national and international reputation.
• The rebuttal reinforces the institution’s alignment with federal policies on educational transparency and accountability.
• It also sends a message to prospective students and parents regarding the credibility of the 2025/2026 admission cycle.

What to Watch:

• Whether UNN follows through on legal threats against rumor spreaders.
• Reactions from JAMB and the Ministry of Education.
• Possible investigations into the source of the allegations.
