The Vice Chancellor presented a gift to the family and assured them of the university’s support during the burial rites.

He reaffirmed AAU’s reputation as a centre of academic excellence and expressed optimism that ongoing efforts by Governor Monday Okpebholo would address security concerns in Ekpoma and create a conducive environment for learning and development.
