Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo, has officially declared the immediate and indefinite suspension of academic operations.
This announcement was conveyed through a statement by Otunba Mike Aladenika, the institution’s Head of Corporate Affairs.
Aladenika mentioned that this decision was communicated through a memo signed by Mr. Ambrose Odiase, the Acting Registrar of the university.
TheWitness learns that this comes in the wake of ongoing protests by the university’s students, who have been demonstrating against purported tuition fee hikes for returning students for approximately three days, resulting in the disruption of academic proceedings.
As a consequence of these protests, the Students Union Government was disbanded, despite repeated denials by the school administration regarding any tuition fee increases for returning students.

In addition, Aladenika confirmed that the 40th Matriculation Ceremony, initially planned for Tuesday, has been postponed indefinitely.
