The Management of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has reacted to reports suggesting that the university’s operations have been banned in Nigeria.
The management said the university has no outlet or campus operating in Nigeria.
They explained that all international students, including Nigerians, wishing to study at UCC, apply directly to the University for consideration.
In a statement dated Thursday, January 4, UCC stated, “The University wishes to refute the allegations as follows: The University of Cape Coast (UCC) does not have any outlet or campus operating in Nigeria neither has it granted franchise to any institution in Nigeria to run its programmes.”
UCC entreated persons and institutions to, at all times, verify with the university the authenticity of certificates ‘purported to have been issued by the University of Cape Coast.’
“We would entreat all persons and institutions, as we have always done, to, at all times, verify with the university, the authenticity of certificates purported to have been issued by the University of Cape Coast.
“In the light of the above, Management wishes to entreat its stakeholders and the general: public to disregard the malicious publication,” UCC said in its statement.
