Fear of retrenchment grips AAU staff

FEAR OF RETRENCHMENT GRIPS AAU STAFF AS VERIFICATION EXERCISE CONTINUES   By: Oriaifoh Godwins   The staff of Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma, Edo state are currently apprehensive with respect to the ongoing staff verification exercise that is being conducted by the Special Intervention Team, appointed by Edo state governor to manage the affairs of the University.
