AAU: Esan People will not allow Prof. Ambrose Alli's legacy to be diminished
PRESS RELEASE: AAU: Esan People will not allow Prof. Ambrose Alli's legacy to be diminished. I read with dismay, the announced conversion of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, alongside College of Education, Igueben, into a multi-campus tertiary institutions by Governor Godwin Obaseki. Governor Obaseki announced the conversion while speaking at the Education Policy Town Hall Meeting, convened by the State Ministry of Education on friday 18th february, 2022. The Governor said that, while the main campus would be in Ekpoma, the two new campuses would be located in Oredo local government and Owan federal constituency. According to him, the state's College of Education, Igueben, is also converted into multi-campus, with the two new campuses located in Abudu and Afuze. From all academic indicator, the Governor's decision is ill-conceived and improvident. The concept of running a multi-campus tertiary institution is financially draining, and psychologically exhausting for students
