Ambrose Alli University (AAU) has announced plans to speed up the upload of results to the institution’s online portal in an ongoing digitisation drive.
Gatkeepers News reports that AAU’s Communications Head, Otunba Mike Aladenika assured that the institution’s ICT department is working to clear a backlog of result uploads and allow its alumni to access them online.
The development comes after an AAU graduate attempted suicide over the institution’s alleged refusal to issue him his results.
The student, identified as Precious Ogbeide, graduated from the state-owned university in 2018 but lamented that he has not been issued his certificate.
The parents of Ogbeide said he has been battling depression due to his inability to get a job over the issue.
The AAU graduate was said to have stabbed himself with shards of a broken bottle, eventually ending up hospitalised.
AAU acknowledged that there might indeed be a backlog of related cases that its current management is trying to resolve.
“They are cumulative problems from over the years that were left unattended to, but that is being worked on,” Aladenika told The Cable.
“What we will now do is give it speed. There is a school fees crisis at the moment that we are trying to solve.
“Once all is stable, we will resume as soon as possible.”
