⚠ The school's real name is Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo (FUHSO) — reject any site or agent calling it "Health Technology Otukpo" or claiming it's a different/newer institution; the only official domain is fuhso.edu.ng. Post-UTME/DE screening costs only ₦2,000 and is paid exclusively through the official portal (apply.fuhso.edu.ng or postutme.fuhso.edu.ng) — never to WhatsApp "agents," Facebook pages, or third-party "admission consultants" asking for extra "processing" fees. Blog aggregators republishing FUHSO admission info with ads/affiliate links are unofficial — always confirm dates and fees on fuhso.edu.ng before paying anything.
