UBTH Public Disclaimer On Fake Admission Letters

The University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), College of Nursing, warns students, parents, and guardians about fake provisional admission letters. Some people are sending letters that claim to be from UBTH, but these letters are not real.

The management wants every applicant to stay safe, protect their money, and trust only information that comes from official UBTH channels.

What the fake UBTH admission letters look like

Fraudulent letters often:

• Use the words “Offer of Provisional Admission”.
• Claim to come from the University of Benin Teaching Hospital College of Nursing.
• Ask applicants to pay fees quickly.
• Point people to personal phone numbers, private emails, or social media accounts.

The sample of the letter that is now in circulation is not from the hospital or the college. It is fake and should be ignored.

How UBTH sends genuine admission offers

Real offers are sent only through approved channels. Genuine admission information from the University of Benin Teaching Hospital comes through:

• Official UBTH online portals.
• The main UBTH website.
• The College of Nursing office.
• The UBTH ICT Unit and other approved communication channels.

UBTH does not send admission letters through:

• Unofficial social media pages.
• Personal or random email addresses.
• Third parties who claim they can help with admission.

Any message that appears outside the official channels listed above should be treated with care and checked first.

Simple checks before acting on any admission letter

Before an applicant pays any fee or accepts any offer:

• Check the letter against information on the official UBTH website.
• Confirm the admission status directly with the College of Nursing office.
• Visit or call the UBTH ICT Unit using contact details from official sources only.
• Look for spelling mistakes, poor layout, or strange requests in the letter, as these are common signs of a scam.
• Be careful with anyone who asks for money through personal bank accounts or mobile transfers.

If something feels wrong, it is safer to confirm first. A short visit or call can prevent loss of money and stress.

How students, parents, and guardians can stay safe with UBTH

To reduce the risk of fraud:

• Keep track of official dates and notices from UBTH.
• Follow only verified UBTH channels for updates.
• Ignore and delete messages that pressure applicants to pay at once.
• Share this warning with classmates, neighbours, and family members so they know what to watch for.

Parents and guardians should talk with their children about online scams, so that students do not act alone on any letter that looks suspicious.

Action against fake admission letter offenders at UBTH

The management of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital is already following these fraudulent activities. Offenders who create or share fake admission letters will face legal action. This step helps protect students and keeps the admission process fair for everyone.

The hospital and the college remain committed to giving clear, safe, and open communication. Anyone who is unsure about an offer should seek help directly from UBTH offices before taking any step.
