The administration of the Obafemi Awolowo University OAU in Ile-Ife, Osun State, has refuted an online discussion on what was purported to be a staff recruitment drive at the institution.
The institution admitted that at the present, it is not hiring any new employees.
This information was provided in a statement headlined “BEWARE OF SCAMMERS: OAU IS NOT RECRUITING” that was made public on Sunday by Abiodun Olanrewaju, a university spokeswoman, and made available to our correspondent.
One Dr. Williams Abah is alleged to have approached members of the public on behalf of the university administration and made promises to help them find jobs there.
The discourse, according to OAU, was not just false but also wicked, vicious, and pure con.
“The University is not aware of and has no connection to any mysterious Dr. Williams Abah. Hence, whatever carried out by the so-called Dr. Williams Abah, with GSM number 0802 129 4368, on behalf of the University or its Vice Chancellor has no relation to the University.
