Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, begins the 2025/2026 academic session by releasing an organised academic calendar to serve as a tool to guide the affairs of both students and staff throughout the new session.
As a student preparing for the resumption date of the session, the academic calendar is one of the important documents you have to go through. It does not just tell you events happening on campus, but also the exact dates for these events.
