Oyo State Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, has said that the renaming of The Polytechnic Ibadan by the state government in honour of a former governor of the state, Victor Olunloyo, stands.
Oyelade spoke amid a protest by students of the polytechnic on Tuesday against the decision of the state government.
“Don’t forget, this was the same gentleman who, at the age of 35 in 1970, was appointed as the first rector of this institution. So, we believe that the protestation is rather miscarried and misplaced.
“We stand by that decision because it is a worthy decision for a worthy son of your state,” he said.
