SOCIAL CRITIC DECRIES BUHARI'S DICTATORIAL HISTORY

THE REAL BUHARI: WICKEDNESS IS NOT ANTI-CORRUPTION; ANTI-CORRUPTION IS KINDNESS.

WHAT DID PROFESSOR AMBROSE ALLI DO?

Professor Ambrose Alli was elected the Governor of Bendel state, and later founded "Bendel state University" now "Ambrose Alli University", Ekpoma. Many campuses in Ekpoma, Abraka and Asaba were established during his tenure.. He brought massive development to Bendel in different sectors, from the establishment of numerous post-primary schools and tertiary institutions, and massive construction of roads and housing. His main thrust as governor was to increase educational opportunities. He established over 600 new secondary schools, and abolished secondary school fees. Apart from the establishment of the University, he also established various colleges of Education in Ekiadolor near Benin City, Agbor, Warri, Ozoro and Agbor, and three Polytechnics, with a college of agriculture and fishery proposed for Agenebode. He also established four teachers training colleges to supply staff to the new schools, as well as several other higher educational institutions. Other reforms included abolishing charges for services and drugs at state-owned hospitals and eliminating the flat-rate tax. [1] His administration carried out massive construction of roads to open up the rural areas.[2] In the housing sector he built low cost housing estates in Ugbowo, Ikpoba Hill in Benin City, and Bendel Estates in Warri. As Governor, he always wore sandals, joking that he was so busy working in Government House that he never had time to buy shoes for himself.[3]
When Ambrose Alli left office in 1983, he retired to his family house."
