In anticipation of a nationwide protest planned for tomorrow, targeting issues of bad governance in Nigeria, Ambrose Alli University (AAU) Ekpoma has imposed restrictions on the movement of students and staff.

The university’s management, led by Acting Registrar Comrade Ambrose E. Odiase, issued a directive restricting travel to only essential movements and confining individuals to their residences within the campus or nearby areas.

This precautionary measure aligns with a directive from the National Universities Commission (NUC), aimed at ensuring the safety of all university personnel amidst potential disturbances.

The university has coordinated with local security agencies to enhance security measures, ensuring the protection of lives and property within and around the campus grounds.

According to the statement released by the university, both students and staff are advised to minimize unnecessary travel during the period of the protests.

Specifically, students residing in the halls of residence are instructed to remain on campus, while those living off-campus should stay within their homes.

Staff and students are also encouraged to continue with their academic activities and avoid any areas where the protests might escalate, to reduce the risk of encountering any potential threats.

Despite the heightened security measures, the university’s administration reassures that students should proceed with their first-semester examinations without fear of disruption or intimidation.
