…decree unhappiness over students results delay
By Osarodion Omobude
The Management of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma has directed that salaries of staff for the month of July and financial request from Deans of Faculty and Heads of Department should be suspended with immediate effect.
The University’s Acting Registrar, Ambrose Odiase in a statement said the decision by the instruction management was informed by the non-compliance of some deans of faculty and heads of department to submit result official files which has led to slow pace of upload of 2020/2021 sessional results to the University’s portal (Kofa).
According to the statement; the implication of this failure or slow pace, as it were, is that the current 2022/2023 academic session cannot be activated on the Kofa.
When contacted for further explanation on the subject matter, the Head, Corporate Communication and Protocol, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Otunba Mike Aladenika, said: “The Management is disturbed with the backlog of results yet to be uploaded which we know is affecting the general progressaional movements of our students. It is no longer acceptable, hence the need to be more firm in our bid to positively get things done the way it should be.”
On the issue of processing transcript in the University, Otunba Aladenika said: “The Management is aware of the scandalous nature of processing transcript applications in AAU, and as such it has directed that the ICT Directorate digitises all students’ academic records that are not captured on the Kofa.
“It may also interest you to know that a cartel of transcript racketeering has been smashed in the University with suspects currently before a disciplinary committee with a view to determining the level and depth of their operations within the institution.
“I can confidently tell you that it is no longer business as usual for recalcitrant elements in and outside the system, as we are more determined, than before, to wipe them out and return the University to the path of glory. these actions have the blessing of the Special Intervention Team.
