“We firmly declare that no fake professors exist within the University of Nigeria’s faculty body.
“The rigorous processes for academic staff promotion to professorship status at our university preclude any possibility of fraudulent representation.
“Only individuals who have demonstrated outstanding expertise in their respective fields and met all relevant regulations can attain the prestigious title of professor at the University of Nigeria.
“We urge the public to disregard this insidious publication fabricated by malicious instigators.”
