The institution’s leadership crisis has sent students home for the second time since the controversy erupted in July.
Since the removal of the institution’s substantive rector, Tajudeen Odetayo, and the appointment of his replacement, Kehinde Adeyemi, in an acting capacity, the staff and students of the school have continued to protest the government’s decision.
“We believe that the mandated holiday for students will not only have negative intellectual consequences but also contribute to their academic setbacks,” it said. The statement reads in part; “We call on the management of Osun State Polytechnic, the Osun State Government, and all other stakeholders involved to find a prompt and lasting solution to the impending crisis on the Ospoly campus within the next few days.
The development led to an instant protest by students and lecturers under the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics who were against Mr Odetayo’s suspension.the state government from appointing a rector for the institution.Following the court’s decision, Mr Odetayo, on Thursday, visited the premises of the polytechnic, accompanied by officials of the State Security Service .
