UNIUYO Medical Students' Association Warns Aspirants About Fake WhatsApp Groups

The University of Uyo Medical Students' Association (UUMSA) has issued an official warning to prospective medical students about unauthorized groups operating under the association's name. The notice urges aspiring students to be cautious of fake platforms that may mislead them.

The Problem

According to UUMSA, several unofficial aspirant groups and WhatsApp links are currently being operated in the name of the association without proper authorization. These unauthorized platforms pose significant risks including:

• Circulation of unverified information that could mislead prospective students
• Unauthorized data collection that may compromise student coordination and personal information

What Aspirants Should Do

The association has directed all prospective UNIUYO medical students to:

1. Immediately exit all unauthorized WhatsApp groups claiming to represent UUMSA
2. Join the official platform using this link: UUMSA Official Aspirants Group
3. Verify all information through the official channel only

Official Communication Policy

UUMSA has made it clear that only updates, notices, and verifications from the official channel will be acknowledged by the association. Any information received from other sources should be treated as unofficial and potentially unreliable.

Contact Information

For verification or enquiries, aspirants can contact the UUMSA Director of Information/Public Relations Officer, Comrade Miracle Moore, on 09049547530.

Prospective medical students are advised to remain vigilant and only rely on verified official sources for information about admission and registration at UNIUYO's Faculty of Medicine.
