A NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY HAS SUSPENDED THE PAYMENT OF TOP OFFICIALS’ JULY WAGES.

Ambrose Alli University in Ekpoma, Edo State, has suspended the payment of July salary to some of its top administrators, accusing them of carelessness.

The university announced the decision on Friday in Benin, citing “the failure of some Deans of Faculty and Heads of Departments to submit result files of the 2020/2021 sessional examination results.”

“It is also informed by other affected officers’ slow pace in uploading the 2020/2021 examination results to the university’s portal.”

“The implication of this failure, or slow pace, as it were, is that the current academic session 2022/2023 cannot be activated on the portal.”

According to a statement from the university’s acting registrar, Ambrose Odiase, the administration has also immediately halted any funding demands from deans of faculties and heads of departments.

The decision was made to enable for student advancements, according to Mike Aladenika, Head of Corporate Communication and Protocol at Ambrose Alli University.

According to him, the management was troubled by the backlog of results that had not yet been published to the university’s web since it was interfering with students’ academic progress.

It’s not acceptable any longer, therefore you need to be firm to get things done the right way, he declared.

Mr. Aladenika commented on the subject of transcript processing at the university, saying, “Management is aware of the “scandalous” delay in processing transcript applications in the school.

As a result, it has mandated that all student academic records that aren’t already published to the portal be digitally converted by the Information Communication Technology Directorate.

“A cartel of transcript racketeers has been broken up in the university, and suspects are currently appearing before a disciplinary committee to assess the scope of their activities there.

“I can state with certainty that things are no longer as they used to be for stubborn elements both inside and outside the system.

“We are more determined than ever to eliminate them and restore the university to its former glory,” he told NAN.
