BUK Clarifies Direct Entry Admission Process Amidst Fake News
The attention of Bayero University, Kano (BUK) has been drawn to a misleading narrative circulating by several online newspapers and on other platforms regarding our admission process. We wish to categorically state that the claims being made are false and distort the facts.
The incident being referenced occurred during the 2021/2022 Direct Entry admissions, over two years ago. During that period, BUK’s rigorous screening process uncovered a number of applications supported by fake results. In line with our zero-tolerance policy on academic fraud, all such applicants were denied admission.

Rather than being a scandal, this development earned BUK commendation from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), which applauded our vigilance and commitment to due process. In fact, BUK was honoured with an Award of Excellence and Due Diligence by JAMB in 2023, making us the first university in Nigeria to receive such recognition.
We urge the public to disregard the false information being shared online. The facts remain clear: BUK acted with integrity, upheld high standards, and was commended for doing so.
We remain committed to quality, fairness, and transparency in all our academic processes.
