Professor Gbenga Aribisala, the institution’s vice chancellor, was thrilled to see the verification go well and called it a significant achievement that validates the university’s preparedness to offer education in the twenty-first century.

FUTES is dedicated to producing students who can compete successfully with their peers around the world, he emphasized.

Assuring that admission will be determined solely on merit, Professor Aribisala urged applicants to switch their preferred school to FUTES on the JAMB platform.

We want to set the bar high right away since academic achievement is why we are here. Without fear or favor, he stated, students who score highly on the JAMB, WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB will be admitted solely on the basis of their merit.

By emphasizing that FUTES does not function through third parties, the vice chancellor further advised parents and guardians against using admission agents.

He also counseled potential students to seek advice from the Registrar’s office or to rely solely on accurate information found on the university’s official website, www.futes.edu.ng.

The public should be aware that the institution has no agency for admissions or payments of any type. He continued, “Anyone can access accurate information on our website.”

Asserting that he would not oversee a system that encourages corruption but excellence, the VC advised parents and candidates to exercise caution and avoid becoming victims of scammers.
