Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki has reacted to the mass sack of workers at the Ambrose Alli University (AAU) in Ekpoma. Obaseki has ordered an investigation into the disengagement letters issued to the workers. A statement issued on Tuesday by his special adviser on media, Crusoe Osagie disclaimed the letters. The Edo government stated that action would be taken swiftly on anyone found to have issued them.
Obaseki declared the letters illegal, null, and void, stressing his administration’s commitment to workers’ welfare. The governor promised to uphold the interest of the university staff and continue to position the state as a suitable place to live and work. The institution has been in the news in recent months over some decisions by the management.
Last October, after the resumption of activities by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the AAU chapter had a face-off with the management. It followed alleged arbitrary removal of the substantive Deans of the faculties of Agriculture and Social Sciences by Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof Sonnie Adagbonyin.
