Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki approved the relocation of the Faculty of Agriculture at Ambrose Alli University (AAU) from its original location to the main campus in Ekpoma. This decision prompted questions and concerns regarding the motivation behind the move and the future use of the land initially designated for the Faculty of Agriculture.
The Faculty of Agriculture, an essential component of AAU, played a crucial role in the development of agricultural education and research in Edo State. The decision to relocate the faculty to the main campus raises questions about the potential impact on the quality of education and research in this vital field.
Furthermore, it is essential to clarify the future use of the expansive land initially allocated for the Faculty of Agriculture. The land could be used for other educational purposes or could potentially be repurposed for commercial or residential development. However, transparency in decision-making is vital to ensure that the use of this land aligns with the best interests of the university, its students, and the broader community
As a responsible leader, Governor Obaseki must address these concerns and provide clear answers to the questions surrounding this decision. The rationale behind the relocation of the Faculty of Agriculture and the plans for the now-vacant land should be communicated to the public to maintain trust and ensure that the welfare of students, faculty, and the broader community remains a top priority.
