Okpebholo reinstates sacked Ambrose Alli varsity workers

Edo State Governor, Sen. Monday Okpebholo, on Monday, approved the immediate reinstatement of staff members of Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, who were disengaged from service in March 2023.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Musa Ikhilor.

It was recalled that the staff, primarily members of the institution’s branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), were relieved of their appointments following agitations for the payment of their outstanding salaries and other entitlements.

Ikhilor described the reinstatement as a significant step by Okpebholo towards correcting past injustices and upholding the principles of natural justice, equity, and good conscience.

“The government of Sen. 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 to 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,” Ikhilor stated.
