The Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, has disowned a Study Centre in Ekiti State, claiming to be purportedly running a Degree and HND conversion programme with Kwara State University.

A statement by the Director, University Relations of KWASU, Dr. Saeedat Aliyu, lamented that “this fake Study Centre also claimed to be running postgraduate programmes of the University,” adding that KWASU has “no knowledge of this establishment, nor does the University has any affiliation with this illegality.”

She said: “For the avoidance of doubt, the Degree and HND Conversion programme of Kwara State University is run by the Institute of Professional and Continuous Education with four (4) Study Centres – Kwara State Staff Development College, Fate, Ilorin; Kwara State Education Resource Centre, Tanke, Ilorin; Government Secondary School, Maraba, Ilorin; and KWASU International Conference Centre, Agric, Ilorin. KWASU’s Institute of Professional and Continuous Education does not have or run any Study Centre outside Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

“Similarly, KWASU does not run postgraduate degree programmes outside of the control of the School of Postgraduate Studies.

“Accurate information about all the programmes run by Kwara State University can be obtained on the KWASU website: web.kwasu.edu.ng.

“Importantly also, application forms into any programme of the institution are obtained only through the application platform: portal.kwasu.edu.ng. All payments are equally made online through the application platform.

“The general public is therefore cautioned against any dealings with this supposed study centre in Ekiti State for the KWASU Degree and HND conversion programme and postgraduate programmes. Anyone who transacts any business with them does so at his or her risk.”
