Edo Government and JAMB Find Solution to AAU Admission Irregularities

Over 1,000 students from Ambrose Alli University, AAU, Ekpoma, whose admissions had been delayed for years due to irregular admissions, have found relief after the Edo State government’s intervention.

The students, the majority of whom have graduated, will be able to move on as the Edo State Ministry of Education worked with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, or JAMB, management to resolve the issue.
Due to the inability to print their admissions letters, the students were at a standstill.
To mobilize graduates for the NYSC scheme, an admission letter is necessary.

Affected students who graduated in 2020 but were unable to continue with the NYSC scheme because of unresolved admission problems were involved in some of these cases, which stemmed back to the 2017 admission cycle.

These issues have now been effectively resolved by the state government, working closely with JAMB and represented by the Honorable Commissioner for Education, Dr. Paddy Iyamu, and the Vice-Chancellor of AAU, Prof. Olowo. There are currently no new complaints in this category, and all students whose JAMB profiles were previously blocked have had their accounts unlocked.

Similar to this, situations involving unreported admissions are currently being settled amicably, guaranteeing a flawless experience for all parties.

As of right now, there aren’t any unresolved complaints about admission problems associated to JAMB.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Iyamu congratulated all of the students who had been dropped over the years and reaffirmed the government’s determination to provide all Edo students with opportunities for success.

He further noted that Governor Monday Okpebholo has approved the construction of two lecture halls with a combined capacity of 1,500 seats and a 600-bed dorm at the university.

We take this seriously, and His Excellency, Governor Monday Okpebholo, is committed to transforming Edo State’s educational system for the better.

The governor will not compromise on hiring teachers, building the required infrastructure, or putting laws into place that will benefit everyone.

The state government’s initiative and resolve to make our people happy are the reasons behind the resolution of the admissions issue at AAU, Ekpoma. One can imagine the experiences of the impacted students. Spending years in school and becoming stranded once you graduate.

They can now proceed with their lives, and the administration is reassuring everyone that we are here to bring about constructive improvements in every area. Simply keep helping and collaborating with us,” he urged.
