EFCC Arrests School Owner for Alleged Visa and Scholarship Fraud in Uyo

Operatives of the Uyo Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , EFCC, have arrested an alleged serial fraudster Mrs. Imaobong Cyril Okpong for her alleged involvement in a series of visa fraud schemes and fake offers of foreign scholarships for nonexistent studies abroad.

Okpong was arrested following claims of a petitioner, Dr. (Mrs.) Blessing Nse Bassey, a clinician, that alleged that the suspect defrauded her of the sum of ₦3,000,000 (Three Million Naira) under the guise of securing a University admission for her and also processing Canadian visas for her and her husband.

According to Bassey, the suspect contacted her sometime in February 2024 with a supposed opportunity to secure a scholarship and study visa abroad. She explained that she didn’t make any payment until the suspect signed an indemnity agreement, which she notarized before making the ₦3,000,000 electronic transfer into the suspect’s First Bank account

However, after receiving the payment, Okpong allegedly became unreachable and started rejecting calls on her mobile lines as she completely failed to deliver on her promise and terms of the signed agreement.

Bassey claimed that the suspect had defrauded many victims, especially one of her friends “I met in China who got stranded in China when she got there and realized that there was no scholarship. Some of her victims had travelled abroad with fake documents that left many of them stranded overseas while some others faced deportation with huge financial losses”

The suspect, an alleged owner of Michael Udonquak Schools , Mbierebe in Akwa Ibom State, will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.

Department of Agronomy and Ecological Management 2025/2026 ESUT Supplementary Admission

The Department of Agronomy and Ecological Management wishes to use this window of 2025/2026 ESUT supplementary admission to call for application for admission of our wards into the Department. Agronomy is an applied science that encompasses two sub-areas of Agriculture viz: Soil Science and Crop Science. ESUT is the only State University in the Southeast that has Agronomy and Ecological Management as a full-fledged department. This places our students above board and globally competitive among peers.

The Department has produced several graduates who have risen to high echelon of their professions in Nigeria and other sub-Saharan African countries. The leadership role these graduates play in many Nigerian Universities, research institutes, non-governmental organizations and agricultural development agencies is a testimony to the appropriateness and relevance of the programmes.

The Department is poised to impress its contribution to agriculture, rural development and sustainable environment and has been involved in several research intervention activities aimed at emancipating rural populace from drudgery and low agricultural productivity as well as transforming agriculture into viable business.

The department is currently coordinating the Africa-Uninet 5th call research project in partnership with Godfrey Okoye University Enugu, Bahir Dar University Ethiopia and University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Austria (BOKU). The research grant from the project has impacted positively on the lives of 189 homestead farmers in Aninri and Uzo-uwani LGA of Enugu state. The project directly addresses and contributes to the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDG 2: zero hunger, SDG 4: quality education, SDG 13: climate action and SDG 15: life and land).

There are a host of rural community outreaches handled by the Department in collaboration with the Enugu State Ministry of Agriculture and Agro industrialization and FADAMA 111 Additional financing (A World Bank Assisted project) and these projects also serve as practical training modules for students as they learn about community intervention, and affords our students proficiency in the application of cutting-edge intervention procedures and prepares them fully for professional life as agricultural and rural change agents.

We are endowed with highly sound and dedicated academic staff, who are ranked among the best in the country.

It is therefore with great pleasure that we welcome you and wish you a rewarding time with us, hoping that your expectations will be met.

ASUU made the announcement on Wednesday at a press conference held at its headquarters in Abuja.

President of ASUU, Chris Piwuna, who read a prepared speech before newsmen, explained that the development followed the intervention of the Senate and some other well-meaning Nigerians.

However, he said the National Executive Council of the union resolved to give the government a one-month window to address all contending issues.
