The management of the Federal Polytechnic Ayede, Ogbomoso, Oyo State has disowned an advertisement claiming that the institution is offering Daily Part-Time (DPT) programmes at the National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) levels without the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination.
The Polytechnic described the advertisement as fraudulent, urging prospective students, parents and guardians to disregard the publication and avoid falling victim to individuals seeking to exploit unsuspecting applicants.
According to the Registrar, Mr Akinlolu Akinpade, in a statement issued by the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Sunday Adepoju, the Polytechnic is not offering any Daily Part-Time programme at either the ND or HND level.
The statement clarified that the institution currently offers 13 National Diploma programmes, comprising Agricultural Technology, Computer Engineering Technology, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology, Estate Management and Valuation, Urban and Regional Planning, Accountancy and Business Administration and Management.
Others are Public Administration, Office Technology and Management, Computer Science, Science Laboratory Technology, Statistics and Tourism Management Technology.
The statement added that the Polytechnic is making preparations to commence additional programmes at both ND and HND levels, in line with its commitment to expanding academic opportunities and providing quality technical and vocational education.
He, however, explained that prospective applicants are advised to rely on official announcements for information about newly approved programmes and their commencement.
The Registrar stressed that the Polytechnic remains committed to strict compliance with the guidelines, regulations and admission procedures of the Federal Ministry of Education, the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and other relevant regulatory agencies.
He advised prospective applicants to obtain admission information only through the institution’s official communication channels and to verify any admission advertisement before making payments or submitting personal information.
Members of the public are urged to report suspicious admission offers and avoid transacting with unauthorised individuals or platforms claiming to represent the Polytechnic.
The management reemphasised its commitment to transparency, regulatory compliance and the protection of prospective students from fraudulent admission schemes.
