At the Faculty of Letters, Languages and Language Sciences, out of a total of 12,655 students registered for the 2020-2021 academic year, approximately 5,128 were recorded on the registration lists without files. According to the officials of this faculty, these students used a fraud system allowing them to obtain a false payment slip for registration fees.
Following numerous anomalies noted on the lists of students of the Faculty of Letters, Languages and Language Sciences for the year 2020 – 2021, the Rectorate of this university has set up an ad hoc Commission for verification and control, under the supervision of the Dean of the said faculty. After an initial phase of audit, the commission discovered a fraud scheme through which many students presented themselves with a fake registration fee payment slip.
“We realized that out of more than 12,000 registered students, there were only about 7,000 who had physical school records. And there were 300 files that were not taken into account, ”explains the Dean of the Faculty, Professor Mohamed Minkailou.
The commission also detected, according to him, many professional students who registered by paying 5,000 francs instead of the 50,000 CFA francs required by the texts. He adds that the first elements of the internal investigation suggest collusion between certain members of the AEEM and the education service.
“Students explained to us that elements of the AEEM are involved in these fraudulent registrations and that there is someone on the hill who seems to be the mastermind. He is certainly in collusion with school officials, ”says Professor Minkailou.
Faced with this situation, a Council of faculty professors was held on February 16 to identify possible solutions. It was decided to transfer one education officer to another place and another, after being suspended for the first time, was fired. Regarding the 5,000 unregistered students, the Council, “after careful examination of the situation, decided not to throw them out on the street and to give them a chance to regularize their situation”, confides the Dean.
800 of them were diligently taken care of, as part of a registration operation initiated exclusively for this purpose and which continues until Friday, March 17, 2023.
