The university clarified its stance, saying, “As the management of Maduka University, we wish to categorically refute these baseless claims and provide clarity on the matter.
First and foremost, it is important to state that at Maduka University Enugu, students are only required to pay school fees after being formally admitted into their respective programmes.
It is against our institutional policy to collect fees from prospective students before offering them admission.”
The statement continued, “Contrary to the erroneous assertions made in the circulated story, Maduka University operates an open admission policy, and academic activities, including those in the Nursing and other departments, are currently ongoing. We wish to state unequivocally that the allegations of collecting fees from over 400 nursing students without offering them admission are entirely false and without merit.”
The university also invited scrutiny of its records, stating, “We challenge anyone making such claims to provide evidence of payment without corresponding admission into our institution. As a responsible institution committed to transparency and accountability, we invite scrutiny and verification of our records to debunk these unfounded accusations.”
Maduka University emphasized its commitment to quality education and ethics, saying, “Maduka University remains steadfast in its dedication to providing quality education and upholding the highest standards of integrity and ethics. Our guiding mantra emphasizes student-centered learning, critical thinking, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.”
The university reaffirmed its commitment to admitting students for the current academic year and extended an invitation to candidates participating in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to consider Maduka University as their institution of choice.
The university said its legal team is reviewing the publication and will pursue necessary action against those responsible for the false story. Maduka University urged the public to disregard the false narrative and cautioned against making payments to unauthorized individuals.
