The Senate of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma has directed students to return to campus for the immediate resumption of full academic activities.
Senate gave the directive after an emergency meeting, held, on Friday in Ekpoma, Edo State.
TheNewsZenith recalls that the institution’s authorities suspended all academic activities on Sept. 5, following students’ protest over a hike in tuition fees.
Mike Aladenika, the institution’s spokesman, had then said the suspension of academic activities was a preemptive measure to avoid a breakdown of law and order.
In another statement today, Aladenika said the Senate had 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.
“Lectures are scheduled to commence on Tuesday, 3rd of October, 2023,” he stated, quoting the University’s Acting Registrar, Ambrose E. Odiase.
The Senate enjoined the students to be law-abiding upon their return to the campus.
