AAU Opens up on Cases of Admission Racketeering, Sexual Harassment

He said that admission racketeering had become “an anathema in the AAU as the system put in place does not allow such act at all’’.

The authority of Ambrose Ali University (AAU) Ekpoma in Edo, has opened up on allegations that cases of admission racketeering and sexual harassment exists in the institution.

According to its Vice- Chancellor, Prof. Ignatius Onimawo, the AAU engages in a monthly prayer session for sound spiritual development and to eliminate cases of sexual harassment in the institution.

He said:
“There has not been any reported case of sexual harassment or admission racketeering in the institution.

“But if there has been any case, it has never been brought to the attention of the school authority.

“It is the vision of this administration to position the university to be the best state university and one of the best 10 universities in Nigeria.’’

He said that admission racketeering had become “an anathema in the AAU as the system put in place does not allow such act at all’’.

“We give admission to applicants on merit, and the system is so robust that no staff has the chance to play on the intelligence of any student seeking admission.

“But some of the few cases brought before the authority were promptly dealt with and the staffers involved were sanctioned,’’.
