QNET has cautioned the public against claims linking the company to admissions into QUEST International University in Malaysia, insisting that the institution operates independently under its parent organisation, the QI Group.
It gave the warning at a quarterly product expo in Lagos at the weekend, following the activities of fraudsters who have continued to use the name of the wellness brand and its sister university to defraud prospective students across West Africa.
Speaking at the interactive session with journalists, QNET explained that the QUEST University, which runs medical, business, and economics schools, was solely responsible for managing its admissions through its own portals.
It reiterated that no individual, agent, or QNET representative was authorised to secure admission for applicants, urging intending students to apply directly to the university, upload required documents, and await approval from its admissions board.
The firm said maintaining clear boundaries between its business operations and the university’s academic programmes was essential to protect applicants from misinformation and fraudulent claims.
While showcasing the range of products offered by QNET to hundreds of guests who attended the product expo at Ikeja, QNET maintained its drive towards developing the skills of young people and its commitment to innovations that protect the environment.
Regional Strategy and Marketing Manager, QNET Sub-Saharan Africa, Bernhard Gaksch, who interfaced with journalists, said the company was deepening investments in wellness technology, eco-friendly manufacturing, and digital learning platforms to meet rising demand from young Africans seeking healthier living and new economic opportunities.
Gaksch said the company’s diverse product line spanning wellness, sustainability, travel, luxury, and learning reflected its broader mission to promote ethical direct selling, empower young Africans, and support healthier lifestyles.
“Through innovation, sustainability, and education, we want Africans to access quality products and skills that improve their wellbeing and strengthen their future,” he said.
Among the products on display were QNET’s premium watch collections from Bernhard H. Mayer and Cimier, Swiss boutique watchmakers with a heritage dating back to 1871; the Omni Collection, produced from 100 per cent recycled materials including stainless steel and rubber, as well as the 99 Names of Allah special edition and the official Manchester City FC watch.
Other items on display included the HomePure Nova water purification system, a nine-stage filtration device that addresses chemical contaminants while retaining essential minerals; the HomePure Zayn air purification unit, a portable six-stage system designed to filter pollutants, chemicals, and airborne viruses, among others.
A key focus of the expo was QLearn, QNET’s online educational platform offering professional certificates from UK, US, and EU institutions.
The courses, which include business management, financial literacy, communication, and network marketing, are designed to equip young entrepreneurs with essential skills for business growth.
Gaksch said many youths joining QNET lack formal business training, and QLearn helps them build a foundation for success.
