Rivers State University (RSU), Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, has dismissed as fake a memo circulating on social media claiming that the institution had cancelled and postponed its ongoing second semester examinations.
The university, in a statement issued by its management, said the purported memo, dated July 24, 2026, and allegedly signed by the Acting Registrar, did not originate from the Office of the Registrar or any authorised organ of the institution.
The statement was signed by th Registrar of the institution, Dr Idanyingi I. Daminabo.
Describing the document as false, misleading and the handiwork of mischief-makers, the university reassured staff, students and the public that there had been no alteration to the examination timetable approved by the Senate.
According to the statement, all second semester examinations will continue as scheduled, urging students to disregard the fake memo and remain focused on their academic activities.
The management also warned those responsible for originating and circulating the false document to immediately desist from such unlawful acts or face legal consequences.
It advised members of the university community and the general public to rely only on official communications issued by the Office of the Registrar and disseminated through the university’s official notice boards, website and verified social media platforms.
