Maduka University Enugu has taken note of the video made by a parent and content creator, Mrs. Chika Akhigbe, currently circulating on social media concerning the release of her daughter’s official transcript. Her daughter is a student in the Department of Medicine and Surgery. In the interest of fairness, transparency, and accurate public information, the University wishes to clarify the following facts:

1. The student’s father was duly informed by the Registrar to provide the name of the institution to which the official transcript would be sent, in line with standard university practice and established academic procedures. This address has not been provided.

2. The father of the student stated that the official transcript was needed to enable them to search for another university for their daughter. However, university official transcripts are sent only to designated institutions and not released directly to individuals.

3. The issue of official transcript processing fees remains the prerogative of the University, as is the practice in higher institutions globally.

4. During the interaction, the student’s father stated that he was unable to pay the prescribed official transcript fee and subsequently threatened to escalate the matter publicly and legally.

He also visited other offices within the University, including the Admissions Office and the Bursary Department, making similar threats.

5. In the video, Mrs. Chika Akhigbe, the student’s mother, claimed that they have paid all their daughter’s school fees which is not true.

They have an outstanding of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500,000) out of N3.5m for the 2025/2026 academic session.

6. Her claim of having paid for the processing fee for the official transcript is false. As at May 21, 2026, the University is yet to receive any payment from her for the purpose of any transcript processing.

7. At no point did the Vice-Chancellor handle or discuss the official transcript matter with the student’s parents, as alluded by the mother in her video. The interaction was solely with the Registrar, whose office supervises official transcript processing through the University Records Office.

8. Her claim that the University increased school fees for 2025/2026 academic session for returning medical students to N4.5m is false. The school fee including accommodation for returning medical students is N4,010,000 for the 2026/2027 academic session which has not taken off.

9. Her claim that we increase school fees annually and therefore have become unaffordable is also false. We have maintained one of the lowest fee regimes among our contemporaries.

10. Her claim that her daughter is the best performing student in her class is false.

11. Her claim on insecurity is false and unsubstantiated; we have never had any security breaches since the inception of the University.

12. It is clear that she is on a mission to tarnish the reputation of the University through her campaign of calumny and character defamation. Her intention is to use her social media influence to force the University to circumvent official protocol. It is surprising that a mother would use the education of her daughter to entertain her social media followers and drive traffic to her page.

Maduka University remains committed to professionalism, due process, adherence to established academic standards in all administrative matters, and the welfare of its students. We urge members of the public to disregard misleading narratives and rely on verified information from official University channels.

Thank you.

Professor Charles Ogbulogo

Transcript that should be on student portal that they can download anytime. If an education institution is still living in 1920, how will the country move forward

The university is right on this one.
Transcripts can only be sent to another university

shortgun:
This is not correct.
Institutions have to ensure transcripts remain authentic and resistant to manipulation or fraud. The process require verification layers that a student cannot just download.

doggedfighter:
This university and wahala .

If it's not accredited course, it's not agreeing to send transcripts.

After paying millions.

To send transcripts is now rocket science that VC, Registrar are now involved.

Very soon Mmaduka will put mouth too.
And yet they won't allow us rest with everyday advertisement here.

LordIsaac:
Truth is, unofficial transcripts must be provided to students if they apply for it. Something is fishy!

ntyce:
Obvious you haven't seen beyond your nose..

Some schools within and outside Nigeria make it available for students online.
Such always have "student's copy" watermarked on it.

When responding to someone, you do not have to be rude like this. You don't know who is behind the monicker...for all we know, they may be old enough to be ya dad.


Maybe, but back in my time, this is like 16 years or more ago, when I was applying for a masters at another uni, my university sent the transcript to them, and they did not give me a copy. (Then again, the uni is one of nigeria's older universites, so they probably did things the old way).

Times might have changed.

Well, when I was about to do a masters, in applying for a transcript, the university refused to give me a copy, they asked for the school address and told me it would be posted there, but that was some time ago, things might have changed.
