Overview
The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) has banned the activities of Neolife and Faith Heroic Group (FHG) on campus and asked students to stay away from them.
In a memo signed by the registrar, Charles Adeleye, the university said the activities of both groups have created “serious discomfort, fear, unnecessary tension and unwarranted pressure” in the university environment and undermined the university’s peaceful and conducive academic atmosphere.
Neolife, which claimed it’s a wellness company, has been accused of several improprieties, including exploiting young people, pushing them into debt and encouraging them to abandon formal education with false promises while pushing them into a sales structure that leaves them worse off.
A Punch Investigation last year detailed how young Nigerians, including university students, were lured with fake job offers and promises of quick wealth into joining a marketing structure that fails to deliver on its promises.
