Academic activities were on Monday paralyzed at the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) Abeokuta, Ogun State, over increment of the school and acceptance fees. The aggrieved students shut the school gate and disrupted the ongoing examination. It was learnt that the students in collaboration with the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), as early as 6am on Monday barricaded the gates leading into the polytechnic, preventing entry and exit from the school.
October 17, 2022They also disrupted the ongoing second semester examination from holding as other students coming for the exams met the entrance under lock and keys.
The students were singing solidarity songs, carried placards with various inscriptions like “We no be rich kids, na why we come MAPOLY” “#Say No To Unreasonable Increment Now!!!”, etc. The statement reads in part, “We are disheartened to converge here today, not for celebration but to decry the suffering and panic the management of the MAPOLY has subjected us to as students.
“We resisted this increment and came to a benchmark of reduction in the initially added amount after due consultation. “Without considering the economic conditions of parents and guardians, tuition fees were increased outrageously again for two consecutive sessions. This is the highest level of discomfort any management could think of putting the students through.
