Edo State Governor, His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo has approved the immediate reinstatement of all staff of the state owned Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma who were unlawfully disengaged from the service of the institution by the defunct Special Intervention Team (S.I.T.) in March, 2023 under the administration of former Governor Godwin Obaseki.

In a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government,
Umar Musa Ikhilor, “The governor , 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 on citizens of Edo State”.
