Students of the defunct Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, have staged a protest march over the delay in the conduct of their second semester examination.
The students are also demanding if they will be moved to the campus of new Ogun State Polytechnic, Ipokia, which was set up to replace MAPOLY.
The delay in holding the examination, was largely caused by the MAPOLY’s lecturers, who were on strike over the uncertainty on the status of the new polytechnic.
The students in their hundreds, marched to the Governor’s Office at Oke Mosan in Abeokuta, where they were addressed by Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
The governor, appealing for calm, explained that the existing MAPOLY students will remain at the Abeokuta campus, while only the newly admitted students will report at the Ipokia campus of the new polytechnic.
Amosun also promised to meet the striking lecturers, to facilitate the conduct of the examination, which ought to have began last September 18.
