AAU Ekpoma: Senate directs immediate resumption of academic activities

The Senate of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, has directed the resumption of full academic activities in the university with immediate effect.

The Senate, in an emergency meeting on Friday, 28th September, 2023 reviewed its earlier directive suspending academic activities, a directive which was occasioned by protest over purported increase in tuition fees leading to the locking of the campus gate.

The suspension of academic activities was a preemptive measure by the Senate to avoid a breakdown of law and order.

As part of its decision at the emergency meeting, the Senate considered and approved a revised academic calendar for the 2022/2023 academic session.

“The Senate, therefore, directs that students return to the halls of residence on Sunday 1st October, 2023, while lectures are scheduled to commence on Tuesday, 3rd of October, 2023.”

A statement issued by the University’s Acting Registrar, Ambrose E. Odiase enjoined the students to be law abiding upon their return to the campus.
