Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, Edo State, has cancelled the MCB 414 examination taken by final-year students in the Department of Microbiology following a violation of the university’s rules on wild jubilation. The affected students have been directed to retake the examination during the 2026/2027 academic session after paying their school fees.
The decision was ratified by the university’s Senate at its 335th regular meeting held on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. It was communicated in an internal memorandum dated October 15, 2026, issued by the Office of the Registrar through the Senate Services Division.
Why AAU Cancelled the MCB 414 Examination
The memorandum explained that the cancellation followed the violation of an existing Senate rule governing wild jubilation by final-year students in the Department of Microbiology.
The university had previously received approval from the Vice-Chancellor to cancel the examination. During its September 23 meeting, the Senate formally ratified that decision.
The action specifically concerns the MCB 414 examination taken by the affected final-year Microbiology students. The memo does not announce the cancellation of other examinations or specify additional sanctions.
When Will the Affected Students Retake the Examination?
Students affected by the decision are expected to sit for MCB 414 again in the 2026/2027 academic session.
The Senate’s directive also requires the students to pay their school fees before writing the examination. The memorandum does not provide a specific date for the rescheduled paper or further details about the examination timetable.
Affected students will therefore need to take note of the decision and follow the university’s subsequent academic arrangements concerning the course.
Official Communication from the Registrar
The directive was addressed to the Head of the Department of Microbiology by the Registrar’s Office, under reference number AAU/SSD/SM/11.
The memorandum was signed by F.O. Omogui, Deputy Registrar (Senate), for the Registrar. It was issued to formally communicate the Senate’s decision and guide the department’s implementation of the directive.
