The Nigerian Army College of Logistics and Management (NACOLM), Ojo, Lagos, has raised the alarm over a fraudulent online advertisement promoting a purported “Highstone Global University USA International Research Conference,” warning members of the public not to fall victim to the scheme.
NACOLM said the purported conference, which is being advertised as an event scheduled to take place at the college, has no connection whatsoever with the institution.
The warning was contained in a statement dated September 22, 2026, issued by the college’s Public Relations Officer, Major Innocent Audu.
According to Audu, the college neither authorized nor endorsed the programme and has no affiliation or partnership with the organization behind the advertisement.
“The College has no affiliation, partnership, endorsement or involvement whatsoever with the said programme, and no such conference has been authorized to take place at the College,” Audu said.
The college described the advertisement as false and fraudulent, urging Nigerians and other members of the public to completely disregard the purported event.
