SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

It is to be announced for the information of the general public that the Governor of
Edo State, His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo has approved the immediate reinstatement of staff of the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma who were unlawfully disengaged from the service of the Institution by the defunct Special Intervention Team (S.I.T.) in March, 2023 under the administration of former Governor Godwin Obaseki.

It would be recalled that the staff, who were members of the Academic Staff Union of the University, were unjustly relieved of their appointment following the agitation by staff of the Institution for the payment of their outstanding salaries and other entitlements owed to them by the administration of Governor Godwin Obaseki.

The Government of Senator Monday Okpebholo believes in the principle of natural justice, equity and good conscience, and will therefore not fail to correct any seeming injustice meted out on citizens of Edo State.

This reinstatement, therefore, is to demonstrate His Excellency’s avowed commitment and adherence to the rule of law in governance at all times.
