Students of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Monday, shut the school gate and disrupted the ongoing examination in protest against an “outrageous fees.”

The aggrieved students in collaboration with the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Ogun Axis, paralysed academic activities over increment of school and acceptance fees.

In their hundreds, the students as early as 6am on Monday barricaded the gates leading into the polytechnic, preventing entry and exit from the school.

They also disrupted the ongoing second semester examination from holding as other students coming for the exams met the entrance under lock and keys.

The protesting students, 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.

Addressing journalists, the Chairman of NANS in the State, Damilola Kehinde, insisted on the complete reversal of the increments and introduction of new fees in the school, as a condition to end the protest.

The students also demanded investigation of the management of the institution for alleged misappropriation and mismanagement of funds in the school.

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.

“Our offense as Nigerian students is that we want to be educated and the Dr Adeoye Odedeji led management of MAPOLY is saying education is not for the poor.

“Few months ago in the last academic session, tuition fee for both ND and HND students was increased including part time students whose figure is not accurately given.

“We resisted this increment and came to a benchmark of reduction in the initially added amount after due consultation.

“The clear promise made to the students’ body by this same Dr Odedeji and other members of the management team is that there will no longer be increment. At least, not in his own time as the Ag. Rector.
