Management of Ambrose Alli University, AAU, Ekpoma, has called on stakeholders and members of the university community to support the rebranding process aimed at improving the institution’s rating among Nigerian and international universities.
The ‘A Better AAU Ekpoma is Achievable’ project, initiated by the Acting Vice Chancellor, Professor Sunday Samuel, seeks to change the negative perception about the university.
Addressing a gathering of student bloggers, the Principal Assistant Registrar and Head of Information and Public Relations of AAU, Otunba Mike Aladenika emphasised the crucial role that bloggers play in shaping the university’s narrative.
“You have the capacity to positively change the narrative of this university through your reporting, we owe it to the institution to project it well and we will support you in your blogging endeavors,” Aladenika said.
He said management is planning to organise a training and expose bloggers to modern practices to enhance their skills.
In response, the President of AAU Bloggers Association, Molokwu Emmanuel appreciated the initiative and pledged that they would be responsible and objective in their reporting.
The meeting was part of the reorientation programmes designed by the Information and Public Relations Unit to correct negative perceptions about the university.
