JUST IN: Ogun Polytechnic Shut Amid Students’ Protest

The management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has declared the institution closed starting Monday, January 13, 2025, until further notice.

Naijaonpoint understands that this decision was made to prioritize the safety of both lives and property in light of ongoing protests by some students regarding the administration’s move to verify their National Diploma results from their previous institutions.

It is worth noting that the students are expressing their concerns over a purported increase in tuition fees and delays in the mobilization of Higher National Diploma (HND) students for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The information to shut down the school was shared in a statement released in Abeokuta by the institution’s public relations officer, Yemi Ajibola.

The statement reads: “Management expressed its zero tolerance to fake results from any quarters.

“Consequent upon this, students have been advised to stay away from the campus in their interests, as parents and the general public are assured of a timely update as events unfold.”
