The Edo State Government again has renewed the hope of over 1,000 students of Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, with a major breakthrough in resolving long standing challenges associated with JAMB regularization, bringing relief to thousands of its students and graduates.
For years, many students of the institution were faced with difficulties arising from locked JAMB profiles and unregularized admissions. This situation prevented them from obtaining their admission letters, which are mandatory for mobilization into the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). Some of these cases dated as far back as the 2017 admission cycle, with affected students who graduated in 2020 still unable to proceed to the NYSC due to unresolved admission irregularities.
The Government via the Honourable Commissioner for Education Dr Paddy Iyamu and the Vice chancellor AAU Prof Olowo working in close collaboration with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has now successfully addressed these challenges. All students whose JAMB profiles were previously blocked have had their accounts unlocked, with no fresh complaints being received in this category. Similarly, cases involving undisclosed admissions are currently being resolved seamlessly, ensuring a smooth process for all concerned.
As it stands, there are no lingering complaints on JAMB related admission issues that had hitherto defied solutions.
Speaking to Newsmen on Monday the 15th, the Honorable
Commissioner for Education congratulated all the students abandoned over the years and reiterated the Government’s commitment to give all Edo students wings to fly.
He also mentioned the new approval of two 1,500 lecture theatre and a 600 hostel capacity approved by the Governor and State Executive Council for the use of all AAU students. We are serious minded and the Governor is resolute to help families break the cycle of poverty,he added
