Angry residents of Ekpoma on Wednesday shut down the Ambrose Alli University in protest of poor administration of the school, while calling on the government to sack Austin Osakue, a member of the Special Intervention Team.
The protesters who carried placard with inscriptions “Osakue must go” among many others, called on the state to find a quick solution to the problem which is capable of throwing the town into chaos.
One of the protesters, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said thatthe the way the school is being run could cause problem in the community. He noted that they were concerned citizens who do not want the lofty ideas of the government for the school to be misconstrued.
The protester said, “The management of the school seems to be incapable of running the institution. How could they sack or even think of sacking workers at this time?
“It has been one problem after another since this management took over and as indigenes we cannot take it any more,” the protester said.
