FUDUTSIN-MA Issues Disclaimer: University Not Affiliated with Advertised International Conference
The Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA) has issued an urgent disclaimer regarding fraudulent promotional materials circulating on social media. The university wants to clarify that it has not authorized or entered into collaboration for an advertised international conference.
The Fraudulent Advertisement
Promotional materials have been circulating on social media platforms advertising an international conference allegedly associated with FUDMA. The advertisement falsely claims the university is collaborating with "Pleasant College of Advance Studies" and features musician Dauda Kahuta Rarara.
Official University Statement
The Federal University Dutsin-Ma management has categorically stated:
- The university has NOT entered into any collaboration with Pleasant College of Advance Studies
- The advertised international conference is NOT sanctioned by FUDMA
- The university will NOT be liable for any situations arising from this unauthorized event
Warning to Academics and the Public
The university administration strongly advises:
- Be wary of such advertisements
- Ignore promotional materials linking FUDMA to unauthorized events
- Do not attend events promoted under the university's name without official verification
- Verify event legitimacy through official university channels before participation
Why This Matters
Fraudulent use of university names for conferences or events can:
- Lead to financial losses for attendees paying registration fees
- Damage academic reputations
- Result in worthless certificates or participation claims
- Waste time and resources on non-accredited events
How to Verify FUDMA Events
Before attending any event claiming FUDMA affiliation:
- Check the official FUDMA website for event announcements
- Contact the university's Public Relations Office directly
- Look for official university letterheads and signatures on event materials

Red Flags for Fraudulent Events

Protecting Yourself
