No fewer than five staff have been sacked by the management of Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, Edo State, with 21 others undergoing investigation for various criminal offences.
This was made known by the chairman, Special Intervention Team (SIT), Mr. Austin Osakue, in Benin while submitting the progress report of the SIT to Governor Godwin Obaseki, said the staff were dismissed by the disciplinary committee of the institution.
Osakue urged the state government to constitute a governing council and begin the process of hiring principal officers for the institution, saying the work done by the SIT will not be appreciated unless the institution reviews its enabling laws.
He noted that the school has keyed into the directive of the Edo State Government as it has commenced the contributory pension scheme which started on August 1, 2023.
“All staff in the school that have seven years to leave are exempted from the scheme,” he said.
Responding, Governor Obaseki said his government is committed to restoring the lost glory of the institution.
