FUTA Warns 2026/2027 Admission Candidates Against Scammers

Federal University of Technology, Akure has warned prospective 2026/2027 candidates, parents and guardians to beware of fraudsters claiming they can secure or influence admission into the university.

What FUTA Said

The university says no admission has been offered yet for the 2026/2027 academic session. At this stage, only registration for intending candidates is ongoing.

FUTA also stressed that admission is handled under the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board process and is based on merit. Candidates should not pay anyone who claims they can check results, upload results, influence admission or offer admission slots for money.

Red Flags to Watch For

• Anyone asking for money to influence admission.
• Claims that admission has already been offered before the official process reaches that stage.
• Requests for private payments to check, upload or manipulate results.
• Messages from unofficial phone numbers or social media accounts promising admission assistance.
• Pressure to pay quickly or keep the arrangement secret.

How FUTA Admission Should Work

• Candidates register through the proper admission process.
• JAMB remains part of the official admission route.
• Admission decisions are not controlled by private individuals or unofficial agents.
• Candidates should track admission updates through official school and JAMB channels.

What Candidates Should Do

1. Do not pay any person or group to influence admission.
2. Use the JAMB e-Facility portal for JAMB-related admission actions.
3. Confirm school notices through official FUTA communication channels before acting.
4. Keep receipts and official records for any legitimate payment made through approved channels.
5. Report suspicious admission offers to the university or relevant authorities.

Candidates should treat any paid promise of guaranteed FUTA admission as a scam.
