AAU Ekpoma Restricts Movement Amid Nationwide Protest
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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
