FULokoja 2025 Admission: How to Avoid Scams and Stay Safe During Application

As Federal University Lokoja begins its 2025/2026 admission process, the institution has issued an urgent warning to prospective students about fraudulent activities targeting applicants.

With admission season officially opening on July 28, 2025, scammers have intensified efforts to exploit anxious candidates seeking university placement. FULokoja wants you to know how to protect yourself.

Why This Warning Matters

Every admission season brings a wave of fraudulent schemes. Scammers create fake social media accounts, impersonate university officials, and promise guaranteed admission in exchange for payment. Many students lose money and miss genuine opportunities because they trusted the wrong sources.

FULokoja recognizes this threat and has taken proactive steps to protect applicants.

Official Communication Channels Only

The university has designated two verified platforms where you can access authentic admission information:

Facebook Group:
Join the official FULokoja Aspirants group at facebook.com/groups/fulokojaaspirants

WhatsApp Group:
Connect via the verified channel at chat.whatsapp.com/JpOBF19aTBsApMDAGqjgTG

University administrators actively monitor these groups to identify and remove fraudulent content. If you encounter suspicious messages or accounts, report them immediately to the group administrators.

Red Flags to Watch For

Be suspicious of anyone who:

• Promises guaranteed admission for a fee
• Claims to be a university official but contacts you through unofficial channels
• Requests payment for application assistance or inside information
• Pressures you to act quickly without verification
• Asks for your JAMB credentials or personal banking information

Stay Safe: Best Practices

Follow these guidelines to protect yourself during the admission process:

• Only trust information from FULokoja's official website and verified social media groups
• Never share your JAMB profile access details with anyone
• Verify any payment requests through official university channels before sending money
• Report suspicious accounts or messages to group administrators immediately
• Remember: legitimate admission doesn't require unofficial payments or shortcuts

University's Commitment

Federal University Lokoja remains committed to a transparent, merit-based admission process. The institution actively works to identify and eliminate fraudulent activities that target prospective students.

By joining the official groups and staying informed through verified channels, you position yourself for success while avoiding scams that could derail your academic journey.

Best of luck with your application. Stay vigilant, trust only official sources, and report anything suspicious.
