AE-FUNAI Job Recruitment for Academic & Non-Academic Roles
Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike is hiring for various academic and non-academic posts. Positions range from Graduate Assistants to Professors across multiple faculties, as well as support roles in security, health, and administration. Interested and qualified persons are advised to apply before the deadline.
If you have ever thought of teaching in a growing federal university or working in a campus environment with its own rhythm, this might just be your shot. Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, sitting quietly in Ebonyi State, is calling for fresh faces. And not just lecturers, mind you, but folks in health care, admin, and even security.
The school, which took root back in 2011 under the Goodluck Jonathan government, is just about 25 kilometres from Abakaliki. It’s got the usual grand vision, the type you see in university brochures, but they do mean it — training students to think sharp, solve real-life problems, and go home ready to make a difference.
