The university described the report as <strong>\u201cmalicious,\u201d \u201cpuerile,\u201d and \u201cfabricated.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an <strong>official statement<\/strong> released on <strong>November 9, 2025<\/strong>, the university\u2019s <strong>Head of Public Relations, Mr. Nnaemeka Ijioma<\/strong>, denounced the publication by <em>theglittersonline.com.ng<\/em>, which was further circulated via <em>Opera News<\/em>, calling it <strong>\u201cbaseless and sensationalist.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Facts: 2,428 Students Officially Admitted<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the statement, the <strong>authentic admission figure<\/strong> stands at <strong>2,428 students<\/strong>, officially announced during the university\u2019s <strong>first matriculation ceremony<\/strong> on <strong>Friday, April 4, 2025<\/strong>, held at the <strong>University Pavilion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ceremony, described as a <strong>historic milestone<\/strong> for the newly upgraded institution, was attended by <strong>thousands of students, parents, staff, dignitaries, and journalists<\/strong>.<br>During the event, the then <strong>Acting Vice-Chancellor<\/strong> revealed the detailed breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2,383 Bachelor\u2019s degree students<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>45 Professional Diploma in Education (PDE) students<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The university stressed that the claim of admitting just 942 students is <strong>false and misleading<\/strong>. A simple <strong>Google search<\/strong>, it added, confirms <strong>over ten credible sources<\/strong>\u2014including <em>The Nation Newspaper<\/em>, the <strong>university\u2019s official website<\/strong> (www.alvanikoku.edu.ng), and its <strong>verified Facebook page<\/strong>\u2014that verify the correct admission figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why the Claim Makes No Sense<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AIFUE emphasized that <strong>all admissions were processed through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS)<\/strong>.
