The university management in an internal memorandum released on Friday, September 1, 2023, ordered the immediate dissolution of the students’ union for allegedly breaching some provisions of the school’s rules and regulations.

The management of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State disbanded the students’ union for staging a protest against tuition fee hikes and alleged extortion of students by the authority.

The university management in an internal memorandum released on Friday, September 1, 2023, ordered the immediate dissolution of the students’ union for allegedly breaching some provisions of the school’s rules and regulations.

The memorandum reads: “While it is not out of place for students to exercise their right to protest, it is paramount to emphasize that there are laid down procedures to be adopted, which are clearly defined in the Student Information Handbook.

“The protests of 31 August and 1 September 2023 by students led by the Student Union officials, which manifested in the illegal locking of the University main gate, clearly disrupted academic and administrative activities in the University and created security tension. Specifically, it disrupted the commendation service for late Rev. Professor Moses Isunu Ailemen, which had been scheduled to take place at the International/Students Conference Center on 1st September 2023.

“To this end, the Student Union, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma has completely flouted the provisions of Section 19, subsections (h) and (i) of the rules and regulations enshrined in the Student Information Handbook. Under subsection (1), it is clearly stated, without any form of ambiguity, that the organizers of the demonstration must ensure that there is no disruption or obstruction of educational and other activities of the University including administration, lecture, tutorial, and other related events.


“Consequent on the above, the entire Student Union, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma is hereby dissolved and stands dissolved. The Student Union officials should return all union properties in their possession to the Security Division within 48 hours.

“All students are advised to go about their normal academic activities as all issues in contention will be resolved through dialogue and other relevant mechanisms.

However, a source in the school told SaharaReporters that what led to the students’ protest was a “huge increment in tuition fees despite economic hardship in the country”.

“Last session, the total fee for the medical laboratory was N131,400 but now it is N237,500,” the student told SaharaReporters.

He added that the management had also imposed some unnecessary charges on the students to milk them.

The source said, “An MoU agreement was signed between the former union and the present management that the Edo Health Insurance Scheme will be for only fresh students but they went ahead and implemented it for all students as against the agreement.

“Meanwhile, some families are already under this health scheme which makes it a burden to register twice and the issue of the unequipped health centre of the university is there.

“Also, there is an increase in school fees for old students despite this hardship.

“Thirdly, we pay school fees in two installments for those that can't afford full payment but if you calculate what will be an installment, it is higher than the full fee.

“Also, the management will tell the students that the governor is the problem and that we should protest at the Government House yet they will tell the governor that the students are being political because they want to please him.”

“Students pay for everything all in the name of running the university,” the source added.

**Title:** University of Calabar Female Law Students Protest Against Reinstated Dean Amidst Previous Misconduct Allegations

**Date:** August 14, 2023

**Location:** Calabar, Nigeria

**In Brief:****
Female students from the University of Calabar's Faculty of Law are currently engaged in a protest against their Dean, Professor Cyril Ndifon. The protest comes in the wake of allegations that Prof. Ndifon was previously suspended in 2015 for the rape of a law student within his office. The students are questioning how he was reinstated and eventually appointed as the Dean of the faculty.

**Details:**
Female students of the University of Calabar's Faculty of Law have taken to the streets to express their outrage over the reinstatement of Professor Cyril Ndifon as the Dean of the faculty. The protest gains significance due to the fact that Prof. Ndifon was suspended in 2015 following allegations of raping a law student within his office. The students are demanding answers regarding his reinstatement and subsequent promotion to a leadership position.

The allegations against Prof. Ndifon in 2015 led to his suspension, raising questions about the institution's handling of the matter and the legal processes that followed. The current protest reflects a larger concern among the students about the lack of accountability and transparency in the university's administration.

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar is also being criticized by the protesting students, with many considering his role in the reinstatement of Prof. Ndifon to be a reflection of his own character and values. The students are demanding a thorough investigation into the circumstances that led to the reinstatement of Prof. Ndifon and are calling for accountability for both the Dean and the university administration.

The protest highlights the urgency of addressing issues of sexual harassment and misconduct within educational institutions, as well as the need for transparency in administrative decisions. As the protest continues to gain attention, it remains to be seen how the university administration will respond to the demands of the students and whether it will lead to any substantial changes within the institution.

For Knowledge purpose please is is Akamu a solid food or liquid food


Akamu, also known as "Ogi" or "Pap," is a traditional Nigerian and West African food made from fermented maize (corn) or millet. It is a thick, smooth, and porridge-like consistency, similar to a liquid. So, Akamu is generally considered a liquid food. It is often consumed as a nutritious breakfast or as a light meal.

No fewer than 20 persons were burnt to death in Ore, Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State on Sunday.

It was gathered that the victims were scooping fuel from a petrol tanker that fell and spilled its content along the Benin–Ore-Sagamu Expressway on Sunday.

According to an eyewitness, the fire was ignited by a spark from a phone held by one of the persons who were scooping fuel.

The eyewitness stated that the victims of the disaster included three children and a pregnant woman who brought a sum of N100,000 to the scene to buy fuel.

The eyewitness said, “We were inside the church when the tanker fell and spilled its contents on the road. Shortly after it fell down and spilled the fuel on the road, some persons rushed to the place to scoop fuel.

At that time, the rain was falling. Despite that, people still rushed there and started scooping fuel when the fire started after a spark from a phone.

“At the scene, we have counted about three children and over 15 bodies we can’t identify, and also a pregnant woman that wanted to buy the fuel also died in the incident. They were burnt beyond recognition

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, confirmed the incident and described the victims as fuel scoopers.

“They were scooping fuel from a tanker when the fire started. We have commenced an investigation into the matter,” the PPRO stated.

During a Church gathering, one family requested financial assistance of 250k to treat their sick mother. The Pastor then approached the church members, asking them to contribute money for the family's cause. After the contributions were gathered, they realized a total of 750k. The Pastor gave the family the 250k they initially asked for and kept the remaining amount for the church's funds.

The family is upset, believing that the Pastor should have given them all the money since the contributions were made for their specific situation. On the other hand, the Pastor argues that they only asked for 250k, so that's what he provided.

Who is wrong?

The university town of Ekpoma in the Esan West Local Government Area of Edo State was on Thursday evening thrown into panic as a team of policemen with their official vehicle ran over a handcuffed middle-aged man.

In a video that circulated online on Friday, the handcuffed man was seen lying down in front of the police van.

While some people engaged the policemen in a discussion, the driver of the police van drove away in a panic running over the man and dragging him along the road for a few metres.

The incident generated uproar from the crowd, but the angry crowd was quickly dispersed by gunshots from the policemen.


The spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, in a press statement, said the policemen have been arrested.

The statement read in part: “Edo State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that it is aware of the trending video in the social media that shows some police officers with a Sienna vehicle used for police patrol that ran over a young man who was handcuffed.
