The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has disclaimed all disengagement letters issued in the last couple of weeks to workers in the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, insisting that they are illegal, null and void.

In a statement, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media Projects, Crusoe Osagie said the governor has ordered an investigation of the issue, noting that action would be taken swiftly on anyone culpable.

Osagie said, “The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has disclaimed all disengagement letters issued in the last couple of weeks to workers in the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, insisting that they are illegal, null and void.
