Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Polytechnic Ibadan in Oyo State said it has suspended the Students Union Government (SUG) executives of the institution.<\/p>\n

The Institution also said it has postponed the first semester examinations in the institution.<\/p>\n

The institution made these disclosures on Monday.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent learnt that students of the institution staged a protest over the increment of hostel refusal fees on Monday.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent observed that the main gate and other gates leading to the institution were blocked by the students in the early hours of Monday.<\/p>\n

The management in its reaction suspended the SUG.<\/p>\n

The Institution also announced that the first-semester examination billed to commence today, Monday 9th January 2023, has been postponed till further notice.<\/p>\n

The institution described the protest as unwarranted and politically motivated.<\/p>\n

Registrar of the institution, Modupe Theresa Fawale in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Monday, disclosed that the examination has been postponed until further notice while the SUG has been suspended indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Fawale said embarking on a protest on a day that they should be sober and commence their examination is ill-advised and politically motivated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Management of The Polytechnic, Ibadan has suspended the Students\u2019 Union Executives of the institution and postponed the first-semester examination intended to commence today, Monday 9th January 2023 as a result of an unwarranted and politically motivated protest embarked upon by the students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Management further noted that the students\u2019 union breached the rule of decency by locking all the gates that lead to the Institution and thereby causing unwarranted hardship to their colleagues, to the Staff of the Institution, to their host communities, to the neighbouring university of Ibadan, and to the general public at large, most especially those that have official transactions with The Polytechnic Ibadan.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtesting on a day that they should be sober and commence their examination which is a major academic activity leading to the award of their diploma is ill-advised, politically motivated and therefore of no reasonable value to the students and indeed to the development of education\u201d.<\/p>\n
