Ibadan polytechnic suspends SUG, examinations over students’ protest
The Polytechnic Ibadan in Oyo State said it has suspended the Students Union Government (SUG) executives of the institution.
The Institution also said it has postponed the first semester examinations in the institution.
The institution made these disclosures on Monday.
Daily Post reports that the decisions to suspend the SUG and postpone the examination came a few hours after the students staged a protest within and outside the institution’s campus.
It was learnt that students of the institution staged a protest over the increment of hostel refusal fees on Monday.
Sources within the institution said the students normally pay N30,000 for accommodation every session but students who do not want to stay in the hostel pay N5, 000 refusal fee.
The source said the management of the institution increased the refusal fee from N5,000 to N15,000, resulting in a protest in the early hours of Monday.
The main gate and other gates leading to the institution were blocked by the students in the early hours of Monday.
The management in its reaction suspended the SUG.
The Institution also announced that the first-semester examination billed to commence today, Monday 9th January 2023, has been postponed till further notice.
The institution described the protest as unwarranted and politically motivated.
