Ignore fake conference advertisement, Army College tells Nigerians

The Nigerian Army College of Logistics and Management (NACOLM), Ojo, Lagos, has warned Nigerians to disregard an online advertisement promoting a purported “Highstone Global University USA International Research Conference” allegedly scheduled to hold at the college.

The college, in a statement dated September 22, 2026, said the advertisement was false and fraudulent, stressing that it had no connection with the purported programme.

NACOLM’s Public Relations Officer, Major Innocent Audu, said, “The College has no affiliation, partnership, endorsement or involvement whatsoever with the said programme, and no such conference has been authorised to take place at the College.”

The college urged members of the public not to make payments or disclose personal information in connection with the purported conference.

“Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard the advertisement and refrain from making any payments or providing personal information in connection with the purported programme,” Audu said.

It added that any authorised programme or event involving the college would be communicated through its recognised official channels and those of the Nigerian Army.

The college also urged the public to exercise caution and report any suspicious solicitation linked to the purported event to the appropriate authorities.
