Babcock University, Ogun State, has warned the public against fraudulent academic certificates falsely attributed to the institution, declaring that it does not recognise the classification “First Class Upper,” warning that those behind the forged documents risk prosecution.
The university issued the warning in a public notice released on Monday and shared on its official X account after discovering the circulation of fake certificates by individuals falsely claiming affiliation with the institution.
According to the university, one of the forged documents is a purported honorary certificate allegedly issued by the “Babcock University Biochemistry Computer Club” to one Oderhohwo Joseph Efe for achieving a “First Class Upper.”
“Babcock University unequivocally states that this document is false, unauthorised, and does not emanate from the university,” the statement read.
The management stressed that the institution does not issue honorary certificates to recognise undergraduate academic performance.
