The Vice Chancellor of the University of Uyo, Prof. Nyaudoh, has denied any involvement in alleged admission fraud at the institution, while cautioning staff against engaging in unethical practices.

He made the remarks on Tuesday during a live media chat organized by the GIE Art Lead in partnership with the UNIUYO Printing Press. The event, themed “Professor Nyaudoh’s Administration: Fallacies or Fact,” was held at the 1,000-capacity TETFund Auditorium in Uyo.

The university has recently faced reports of admission racketeering, with claims that spots in courses such as Medicine, Pharmacy, and Law were being sold for amounts ranging from N300,000 to N1 million. Parents alleged that agents, claiming approval from the Vice Chancellor, collected the fees.

Responding to the allegations, Prof. Nyaudoh said, “I have never given anyone any instructions to sell admission, and God will vindicate me. For anyone involved, I give them just two years to show what they have achieved with such money.”

He also highlighted UNIUYO’s academic progress under his leadership, noting that the university now ranks among the top 20 universities in Nigeria and 15th in research output.
