AMBROSE ALLI ALUMNI ASSOCIATION URGES OKPEBHOLO TO REVITALISE AAU
The Ambrose Alli Alumni Association, FCT Chapter, has appealed to Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, to fulfil his promise to revitalise Ambrose Alli University (AAU).
The Worldwide President of the Alumni Association, Clifford Omozeghian, made the call at the 3rd Annual Lecture Series/Wazobia Cultural Day and End of the Year Dinner and Award Night in Abuja.
Omozeghian emphasized that the university had been in a state of disrepair and required urgent rehabilitation.
He urged the governor to use his influence to ensure the university received necessary support to revamp its infrastructure and address manpower shortages.
Okpebholo, who assumed office on November 12, 2024, had promised to improve the university during his campaign.
The Acting Vice-Chancellor of Ambrose Ali University, Professor Sunday Samuel, highlighted challenges facing the university, including unpaid staff salaries, infrastructure decay, and manpower shortages.
In spite of his efforts to address these challenges since assuming duty in September, Samuel acknowledged that government intervention was necessary.
Samuel expressed optimism that Governor Okpebholo’s support had already started yielding results, citing his effort in sponsoring staff to attend a World Vocational and Technical Education Conference in China.
