In a surprise move, the management of Ambrose Alli University in Ekpoma, Edo, has cancelled the final year examinations written on January 29.
The university’s Registrar, Ephraim Isiraojie, in a memo, said the decision followed the ‘wild jubilation’ and celebration by graduating students from the Faculty of Arts, which violated the university’s directives.
Isiraojie said in spite of memos prohibiting such celebrations, students from the departments of Mass Communication, English, History, and International Studies engaged in car displays.
He said the students used sirens, sprayed money, and blocked access roads leading in and out of the university.
“The university management in an emergency meeting, held on Wednesday, 29th January, 2025, has decided to invoke the extant laws on wild jubilation/celebration.

“The management has thereby, cancelled all the final year examinations written on Wednesday, 29th January, 2025, including but not limited to the following: ELS41I; MAC 414; IIIS416.
“The university management shall decide in due course when such cancelled examinations shall be rescheduled,” the registrar said.
Isiraojie said this should serve as a deterrent to all graduating students, who were yet to complete their final year examinations.
He emphasised that the university’s management was keen on maintaining order and discipline on campus.
