In response to recent social media claims, the University of Jos (UNIJOS) has refuted allegations that approvals for student profile changes, including name and date of birth updates, have been abruptly revoked.
Clarifying the Misinformation
Reports circulating online suggest that students who had previously received approval for changes to their personal details from the Vice-Chancellor now face cancellations, which could impact their eligibility for Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) admission letters and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilization.
These claims have raised concerns among students, particularly as unknown individuals are reportedly compiling lists of affected students and requesting personal information under the guise of assisting them through various university offices.
University’s Official Response
The UNIJOS administration has dismissed these allegations as false, urging students to remain cautious and avoid engaging with unverified sources. The university assures its students that any genuine requests for profile modifications will be considered and processed according to established procedures.
Additionally, the administration reassures students that approved changes remain valid and will not affect their academic records or NYSC eligibility.
Advice to Students
Students are advised to disregard misleading reports and refrain from sharing personal information with unauthorized parties. The university encourages all students to seek official communication directly from its administrative offices rather than relying on unofficial sources.
For further inquiries, students are encouraged to contact the relevant university authorities.
