Quest International University (QIU) has warned Nigerians and prospective students from other countries against falling victim to fraudulent claims of affiliation, stressing that the institution operates only in Malaysia.
Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer of QIU, Prof. Zita Mamafami, told African journalists at the university’s campus in Ipoh, Perak, that the institution has no agents, satellite campuses, or learning centres outside Malaysia.
“All legitimate information on scholarships, admissions, and collaborations comes directly from the university in Malaysia,” she said, urging students and parents to verify details only through the school’s official website and channels.
The warning comes as QIU marks its 15th anniversary. Mamafami noted that since becoming a full-fledged university in 2011, all its programmes have been accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), assuring students of globally recognised standards.
She added that QIU maintains strong ties with industries in pharmaceuticals, finance, hospitality, and engineering, with 95 per cent of its graduates securing employment within six months. Attracting students from more than 54 countries, the institution, she said, emphasises inclusivity, multiculturalism, and language support alongside English-based instruction.
Mamafami further urged African students, particularly Nigerians, to avoid scams and apply directly to QIU in Malaysia.
