Academic activities at the Edo State-owned Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, have reportedly been suspended as students of the institution staged a peaceful protest over alleged 75 percent increment in their tuition fee.

According to a memo issued and signed by the Acting Registrar, Ambrose Odiase, the decision to suspend academic activities was taken at an emergency meeting of the University’s Senate held on Monday to appraise the continued protest by students. Also put on hold indefinitely is the 40th Matriculation Ceremony of the University scheduled today, Tuesday, 5 September, 2023

“In order to prevent a total breakdown of law and order as well as the need to guarantee the safety of lives and property in the University community and its environs, Senate was left with no other choice than to direct an immediate suspension of academic activities. To this effect, all students residing in the hostels on campus are to vacate the Halls of Residence without fail within the next twenty-four (24) hours,” the memo said.
