Tai Solarin Federal University of Education (TASFUED), Ijagun, has warned contractors, vendors and members of the public about fraudulent Requests for Quotations being circulated by scammers impersonating the university and its officials.
The fake requests seek quotations for the supply of laptops, information and communications technology (ICT) hardware and other contract items. TASFUED has made clear that the requests do not originate from the university.
How TASFUED announces genuine procurement opportunities
Genuine requests for quotations, tenders and expressions of interest follow the university's established procurement procedures. Official opportunities are published on the university's website or in national daily newspapers.
Contractors and suppliers should verify procurement correspondence directly with TASFUED's procurement unit or the Registrar's office before taking any action.
Advice to contractors and vendors
- Do not reply to suspicious procurement emails, text messages or letters.
- Confirm the authenticity of any quotation request with the procurement unit or Registrar's office.
- Report suspicious procurement requests to the university's security unit.
TASFUED has also warned that it will not accept responsibility for financial losses or damages arising from transactions with scammers who impersonate the institution or its officials.
